When our family lived at home, I'd make eight loaves of this bread at a time, recalls Madeleine DeGruchy of Frankville, Nova Scotia. Now that it's just my husband and me, I share with neighbors. Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
4 teaspoons minced chives |
4 teaspoons snipped fresh dill or 1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed |
1-1/2 teaspoons shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 to 4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the whole wheat flour, sugar, chives, dill, shortening, salt and 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 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. Shape into two loaves. Place in 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
