Instructions
Place raisins in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add the brown sugar, molasses, shortening, salt, rye flour and 4 cups all-purpose flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Knead in raisins.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; shape into three round loaves.
Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
