A friend of my mother's gave her the recipe for this crusty round loaf that I now bake for my family. It goes great with winter stews and soups ... and we love the hint of molasses. Ingredients:
3-1/3 to 3-2/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1-1/4 cups milk |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon dried minced onion |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, salt and oregano. In a saucepan, heat the milk, molasses, butter and onion to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until combined. Beat in egg until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2. Punch dough down. Place in a grease 2-qt. round baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until browned. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf.
