.
Ingredients:
3 3/4
cups whole-wheat flour (stone ground is best)
1
1/2 packages active dry yeast
2
cups water (110 - 115 degrees F)
2 tablespoons molasses (I've also used maple syrup)
1
tablespoon salt
Instructions:
Put
the whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl and place in a warm oven (low setting!).
Both
flour and bowl should be warm when you make the bread.
Dissolve
yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water and blend in the molassas.
Let
proof.
Add
another 1/2 cup of water.
Combine
flour, yeast mixture and salt.
Add
enough warm water to make a wet sticky dough.
This
will vary according to flour and humidity conditions.
Put
directly into a buttered 9x5x3-inch bread pan.
Cover
and set in a warm spot.
Allow
dough to rise by 1/3 its original size.
This
goes faster than you might think Preheat oven to 450 F.
Bake
for about 50 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned and the loaf
sounds hollow when tapped.
Turn
off oven and leave loaf on rack for about 20 minutes to brown all over
while cooling.
For
a twist add in some Quaker oats to the mix and spinkle some on top before
baking.
This
is an ideal bread with Tea and Butter.
