I modified my grandmother's bran bread recipe and got this one. I was out of bran, so tried frosted wheat cereal. The results were great! Ingredients:
1 cup bite size frosted wheat cereal |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup boiling water |
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
2 eggs |
6 cups bread flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine cereal, brown sugar, shortening and salt. Pour boiling mixture over mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
3. Combine cereal and yeast mixtures. Add eggs and two cups flour; mix well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
4. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
5. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on a wire rack.
