Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup water -- at 105 deg. F
1/3 cup turbinado sugar -- or reg sugar
2 envelopes dry yeast
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
5 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup nonfat dry milk
5 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup bran
1/4 cup cracked wheat
1/4 cup buckwheat
1/2 cup soy flour
1 cup rye flour
2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
3 cups white flour
butter
Melt the shortening and the butter. Let them cool a bit, so as not to
kill the yeast when they are added to the dough. If you want to scald the
milk, do so, and also let it cool (it is common practice to scald milk
before baking with it, though I never do.)
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the 1/4 cup of lukewarm water.
Mix the cinnamon, oats, corn meal, bran, cracked wheat, buckwheat, soy
flour, and rye flour. Add the rest of the water, the milk, butter,
shortening, egg, and honey, and mix well. Stir in the dissolved yeast
mixture. Mix in the salt, and the whole wheat flour.
Stir in the white flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the mixture is
stiff enough to knead. You'll probably have about half of it left.
Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, onto a floured surface. Knead the
dough, adding more white flour as necessary to keep the dough workable.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about ten minutes. It's
okay if you end up using less than or more than the three cups of white
flour; just use whatever it takes.
Put the dough back into a bowl that's been very lightly greased. Let it
rise, covered, in a still, warm place (around 85 deg. F is best, though
room temperature will work) for 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in
bulk.
Punch the dough down, divide in half, shape into loaves, and place each
half into a loaf pan which has been very lightly greased. Let rise again,
for another 45 minutes, in a still, warm place, until the loaves have
about doubled in bulk.
Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F as the bread finishes rising. Bake the
bread for 35-40 minutes, until it sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from
the loaf pans, and rub the top of the loaves with some butter to give them
a nice, soft, chewy crust.
