Instructions: Pour water into a large mixer bowl. Add the 1/2 cup margarine or butter, sugar, molasses, and salt. Add rye flour, wheat flour, and 1 cup of bread flour, and yeast. Knead with bread hook till combined, then keep adding bread flour in small portions till the dough is of a nonsticky consistency.

Knead with hook until you have dough that is smooth and elastic (15-20 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of the dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double in size (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours).

Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in thirds. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Shape 2 of the thirds into loaves and place in 2 greased 8x4x2-inch or 9x5.3-inch loaf pans. Shape last third into dinner rolls and place in casserole or baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly double (40 to 50 minutes).

Bake in a 350 oven for 35 to 45 minutes or till done. Remove from pans.

Brush tops of warm bread with a little softened margarine or butter, if desired. Cool on wire rack.

Makes 2 loaves plus 8 large dinner rolls.
