My daughter, Deedee, used this recipe for her 4-H yeast bread project and received rave reviews. This started out as a basic wheat recipe, but I eventually added dill to suit my family's tastes. Ingredients:
3-1/2 to 4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup bran cereal |
2 tablespoons fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dill weed |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 cup warm buttermilk (120° to 130°) |
1/2 cup warm water (120° to 130°) |
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 eggs |
melted butter |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cereal, dill, yeast and salt. Add the buttermilk, water, honey and shortening; beat until smooth. Add eggs; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; divide in half. Shape into round loaves; place each in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Cover and let rise until double,d about 45 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Brush with butter. Yield: 2 loaves.
