Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix bran flakes and hot water.

Add honey (or brown sugar), shortening, and salt and cool to lukewarm.

Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in warm water to which 1 Tbsp sugar has been added.

Add to shortening mixture; add white flour to make a soft dough, about 10-11 c.

Turn out on floured board and knead for 10 minutes, adding another 1-2 c flour until dough can be managed.

Let rise until doubles, knead and let rise again.

Shape into loaves; allow to rise to top of pans.

Bake at 350 degrees 30-35 minutes until nicely browned and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Yields 4 loaves.
