I'm not sure where my mom got this recipe from, but it's delicious! It's a dense and delicious loaf whether made with white or brown rice, but my preferred rice is Aldi's Specially Selected Basmati Brown Rice. I used two cups of whole wheat flour the last time I made these and it was still delicious!
2 T yeast
2 T sugar
1/4 cp water
2 T shortening
2 tsp salt
1 cp milk
1 1/2 cp brown rice, cooked and cold/room temperature
5 cp flour
3/4 cp dry milk (optional--I recommend Nido dry whole milk powder)
Combine all ingredients except for the flour. Beat, adding enough flour to make a workable dough. Turn the dough out and knead, adding more flour as needed. Let rise twice and shape. [I usually just let it rise and then punch it down and shape it and let it rise again and then bake it. It sounds like you should let it rise again, but I never have enough time.]
