- A good friend gave me this recipe, which I've adapted by using oil
rather than a solid fat and reducing the salt.
She kneads it in the bowl since the dough is so soft.
This makes 3 loaves, which can be cooked in greased loaf pans or as
logs, or round loaves on a cookie sheet.
-
- 7 cups whole-wheat flour (or 6 c. whole wheat, 1 c. white flour + 2 c.
bran)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (water can be substituted)
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
- 2/3 cups oil
- 4 Tbs. molasses
- 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. (or pkg.) yeast
-
- Soften yeast in warm water. Add
rest of ingredients, mix, then knead until dough sticks to itself more than it
sticks to the counter or bowl. Form
loaves and let rise until doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 350° for about an hour, until bottom just begins to turn color
at the edges.
