Looking for a great bread to start your day? My multi-grain is fabulous toasted. It is also good for sandwiches or served warm with dinner.Tish Stevenson, Grand Rapids, Michigan Ingredients:
6 to 6-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup old-fashioned oats |
1/2 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
2-1/2 cups water |
2 tablespoons butter |
1-1/4 cups dried cranberries or cherries |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast. In a small saucepan, heat water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in the cranberries, walnuts 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 greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; divide in half. Shape into loaves; place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. To serve, cut into thick slices and toast. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
