2  c. boiling water

2  tsp.  salt
1/4  c.  honey
1  package  active dry yeast
1/4 c.  warm water (90-105°)

Light Wheat Bread

 Yield:  2 loaves

 4 c. bread flour
 2 c. whole wheat flour
 2 tbs. gluten flour
 1/2 c. powdered milk
 1/2 c. instant potato flakes (optional)
 2 tbs. sugar
 1 tbs. firmly packed brown sugar
 1 tbs. salt
 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
 2 tbs. butter, chilled and cut into pieces
 2 tbs. active dry yeast
 2-1/4 c. lukewarm water minus 2 Tbs..
 2 tbs. lemon juice
 3 tbs. unsalted butter

With standard mixing attachment, thoroughly combine all dry ingredients except yeast into large mixing bowl.  Add butter (or shortening) and combine.  Add yeast and combine thoroughly.  Add water and lemon juice; mix only until dough starts to form a ball and mixer begins to labor a bit -- approximately 10-20 seconds.

Attach dough hook to mixer and knead dough for approximately 7-9 minutes.  Remove dough to greased glass container; cover loosely with tea towel or plastic wrap.  Set in a warm, draft free location until doubled in bulk; punch down.  Repeat.

Punch down dough; divide into two equal sized pieces.  Form into loaves and place in lightly greased (I use Pam cooking spray) loaf pans.  Cover loosely with tea towel or plastic wrap; place in warm, draft free location until dough reaches the top of the loaf pans.

 Preheat oven to 500°F while dough is rising in loaf pans.

Turn heat down to 375° (or 325° if using convection); immediately uncover loaves and place into oven for 25 minutes.  Remove loaves from pans and place back into oven, baking for approximately 20 additional minutes, or until crusts are nicely browned and loaves test done.  Remove to cooling racks.  As soon as loaves are removed from oven, melt butter over low heat and brush lightly over crusts for softer crust.



Whole Wheat/Oatmeal Bread

 Makes 2 loaves

 1 1/2 c. milk
 1 1/2 c. water
 1/4 c. mild honey
 3 tbs. safflower or corn oil
 2 pkg. active dry yeast
 3 c. whole wheat flour
 2 c. unbleached white flour
 1/2 c. soy flour
 1 tbs. salt
 2 c. rolled oats
 1/2 c. wheat germ

Scald milk and water, remove from heat and stir in honey and oil. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and cool to lukewarm.  Add yeast and stir to dissolve.  Stir in 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, soy flour, and salt.  Gradually add remaining whole wheat and white flours, oats and wheat germ.

Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead 10 minutes, working in up to 3/4 cup additional white flour to make a firm dough.  Let the dough rise about 50 minutes, or until doubled.  Punch down, divide in half, and form 2 loaves.  Place in buttered loaf pans and let rise 40 to 45 minutes or until doubled.  Bake in 375°oven for 35 minutes or until bread tests done.  Cool and store.


Whole Wheat Bread
 Yield: 2 small loaves or 1 large loaf

 2 1/2-3 c. whole wheat flour
 1 pkg. active dry yeast
 1 c. milk
 1/4 c. honey
 2 tbs. cooking oil
 1 1/2 tsp. salt
 1 tablet vitamin C, crushed (as preservative)

On a sheet of waxed paper, combine 2+1/2 cups of the whole wheat flour and the yeast. Heat together milk, honey, oil, and salt till just warm, stirring constantly. Add liquid mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gradually mix in one cup of the flour/yeast mixture from the waxed paper. Beat with whisk for about 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl. Beat for 3 minutes rapidly. Stir in as much of the remaining whole wheat flour as you can with a spoon.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface, knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (10 minutes).  Shape into a ball. Placed in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover. Let rise in warm place till double its size (about 1 +1/2 hr).  Punch  dough down, divide in half. Shape into 2 loaves. With knife, cut slash on  tops of loaves. If making round loaves, cut crosshatch pattern. Place in 2  greased loaf pans. Cover. Let rise till nearly double (about 45 min).  Bake at 350° for approx. 35-40 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool on wire rack.

 Variation: Add raisins, apples or nuts.

Blend in sponge. Put in large bowl, add enough flour to make a stiff batter which is still pliant enough to beat. Set in a warm place to rise to double. Add a little more flour to make dough stiff enough to shape into 3
loaves and let double.  Bake at 350° for about an hour.

Saturday Market Elephant Ears

1 package dry yeast
4 c. flour
1 c. warm water
6 tbs. sugar
2 eggs, beaten

Sugar and cinnamon mix, set aside

Soften yeast in warm water. Combine all ingredients except the cinnamon sugar mixture. Mix well. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Let sit 10 minutes.
Roll out on a lightly floured board. Using both hands, stretch each piece into a circular shape. Heat vegetable oil in 10" skillet (cast iron is best). Place each circle of dough in the hot grease. Turn once -- the surface will bubble and blister and should be lightly browned. Turn with spatula. Place on absorbent paper toweling. Sprinkle immediately with mix
of sugar and cinnamon. If you tear a hole in the circle as it is being stretched that will not matter.

Brush with melted or softened butter before sprinkling with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

ps: here at our international food fair in the summer they also serve these dipped/brushed with butter and shaken over with garlic & onion powder......deadly!!!From: "Terry Van Kirk

cold.

2 tbs. melted butter
1 tsp. sugar
