- .SK 1
- Melt the shortening and the butter. Let them cool a bit, so as not to
- kill the yeast when they are added to the dough. If you want to scald the
- milk, do so, and also let it cool (it is common practice to scald milk
- before baking with it, though I never do.)
- .SK 2
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the
- .AB "\(14 cup" "60 ml"
- of lukewarm water.
- .SK 3
- Mix the cinnamon, oats, corn meal, bran, cracked wheat, buckwheat,
- soy flour, and rye flour. Add the rest of the water, the milk, butter,
- shortening, egg, and honey, and mix well. Stir in the dissolved yeast
- mixture. Mix in the salt, and the whole wheat flour.
- .SK 4
- Stir in the white flour, about
- .AB "\(12 cup" "50 g"
- at a time, until the mixture is stiff
- enough to knead. You'll probably have about half of it left.
- .SK 5
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, onto a floured surface. Knead the
- dough, adding more white flour as necessary to keep the dough workable.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about ten minutes.
- It's okay if you end up using less than or more than the three
- cups of white flour; just use whatever it takes.
- .SK 6
- Put the dough back into a bowl that's been very lightly greased. Let it
- rise, covered, in a still, warm place (around
- .TE 85 30
- is best, though room temperature will work) for 45 minutes, or until it has
- doubled in bulk.
- .SK 7
- Punch the dough down, divide in half, shape into loaves, and place each
- half into a loaf pan which has been very lightly greased. Let rise again,
- for another 45 minutes, in a still, warm place, until the loaves have
- about doubled in bulk.
- .SK 8
- Preheat the oven to
- .TE 350 175
- as the bread finishes rising. Bake the bread for 35\-40 minutes, until it
- sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the loaf pans, and rub the top of
- the loaves with some butter to give them a nice, soft, chewy crust.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- moderate.
- .I Time:
- about 3 hours (half of it rising time).
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
