HOMEMADE BREAD: 4 tablespoons yeast in 3/4 cup warm water 4 cups warm water 1/2 cup white sugar (I use cane) 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons molasses 1/2 cup lard or shortening (I use organic palm shortening) 2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour Use unbleached bread flour until the dough is manageable Mix everything together in a large bowl. Knead the dough once it gets too hard to stir it. I like to spread shortening along the bottom and sides of the bowl so the dough doesn't stick as much. Cover the dough and set in a warm place to rise. Once it has risen to around double, work it down again and cover. Let rise again and work out into the bread pans. I also use shortening to grease the pans. Let rise until the loaves are the size you want. Bake until golden brown. GINGER COOKIES: 2 cups shortening (I use organic palm shortening) 1 cup molasses 2 tsp salt 3 tsp ginger 1 tsp cloves 3 cups brown sugar (I use coconut palm) 4 eggs 8 tsp soda 4 tsp cinnamon 9 cups flour Mix together and form into balls. Roll in white sugar (I use organic cane). Bake until just set. (approximately 8-10 minutes) MY EUFYMAKE (UV PRINTER)AFFILIATE LINK: https://eufymake.sjv.io/c/6364696/169...
