- 1/4 c. Hot water, 110 F. to 115 F.
- 1/2 c. Firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/3 c. Molasses
- 1 Tbsp. Shortening
- 1 Tbsp. Salt

Directions
- I have a wonderful Limpa recipe which I have been making for at least 25 years. It is from The Scandinavian Cookbook, published by the Culinary
- Soften yeast in 1/4 c. hot water. Let stand 5 - 10 min.
- Meanwhile, put into a large bowl the brown sugar, molasses, shortening, salt, caraway seed and anise seed. Pour warm water over ingredients in bowl and set aside till lukewarm. When lukewarm, blend in 1 c. flour, beating till smooth. Stir softened yeast and add in, mixing well. Measure remaining flour. Add in the rye flour and beat till very smooth. Then beat in sufficient remaining white flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto a very lightly floured surface.
- Allow dough to rest 5 - 10 min. Knead. Form dough into a large ball and put into a greased, deep bowl. Turn to bring greased surface to top.
- Cover with waxed paper and a towel and let stand in hot place (about 80 F.) till dough is doubled. Punch down with fist; pull edges in to center and turn dough completely over in bowl. Cover and let rise again till dough is nearly doubled. Punch down dough and turn out on a lightly floured surface.
- Grease a baking sheet. Divide dough into two portions and shape into balls. Cover and allow to rest 5 - 10 min. Remove to greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise till dough is doubled. Bake at 375 deg. F. 25 to 30 min, or possibly till lightly browned. Cold completely on cooling racks.
- I am a dedicated breadmaker user now and have adapted this recipe BUT have NOT tried it yet. One of the things I love the most about this limpa is its shape...this would be lost with breadmaker.
