Feed the entire group with the four golden loaves this recipe produces. The breadâs wonderful mild flavor and tender texture make it outstanding, says Denise Elder, Hanover, Ontario. Ingredients:
4 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
4 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°) |
6 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 tablespoons salt |
2 cups rye flour |
10 to 11 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup caraway seeds |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugars, shortening, molasses and salt. Add rye flour and 4 cups all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Stir in caraway seeds and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a very large bowl coated with cooking spray, or divide between two large bowls coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions. Shape into four loaves. Place each loaf in a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 4 loaves (16 slices each).
