The ladies from our church have frequent bake sales, and this bread is always a hot item. It only takes one taste to understand why that's so! Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
5 to 5-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried sage |
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1 small onion, minced |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 cups warm water (120° to 130°) |
milk |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, salt, herbs, onion, oil and water. Beat with an electric mixer on low until moistened, then beat for 3 minutes at medium. By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into two balls and place in two greased 2-qt. casseroles. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes. Remove from casseroles to cool on wire rack. Yield: 2 loaves (40 slices). |
