We've been enjoying this slightly sweet bread on a daily basis for more than 10 years. A fellow teacher shared the recipe with me when my family lived in New York. I was sure to pack up the recipe when we headed west. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons molasses |
2 cups sourdough starter |
3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
canola oil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, honey, molasses, Sourdough Starter, wheat germ, sugar, baking soda, salt, whole wheat flour and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in 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 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 in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Brush with oil. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
