How To Make freezer rye bread

• Step 1
  Spoon all purpose flour into measuring cup and level off. Pour onto wax paper. Measure rye flour as directed above. Combine 4 cups all purpose flour, undissolved yeast and salt in large bowl. Stir well to blend. Add molasses, butter and hot tap water. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl occasionally. Add 2 cups more all purpose flour. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes or until thick and elastic. Stir in rye flour with wooden spoon. Then gradually stir in just enough of remaining all purpose flour to make a soft dough which leaves sides of bowl. Turn out onto floured board. Knead 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten into 7-inch circles or shape into loaves using the Robin Hood "rolled Dough" method. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap. Place circles on baking sheets and loaves in 8x4-inch loaf pans. Freeze up to 4 weeks. Follow shaping and baking directions for each recipe.
