5-Grain Bread
- 1 c cooked brown rice - don't forget to make it first!
- 2 c lukearm water
- 2TBS brown sugar
- 2 tsp yeast
- 3 c bread flour
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- 1 c dark rye flour
- 1 c coarse corn meal
- up to 1TBS salt
- Combine water asnd sugar in a large mixing bowl and then sprinkle the yeast over it and stir it in. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
- Add dry ingredients - again, don't forget the cooked rice! knead for at least 10 minutes and then put the dough in an lightly oiled bowl, turning. Cover with plastic wrap (good use for hotel shower caps) and leave in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down, re-cover and wait another 30 minutes. Then cut the dough into 2 pieces. Generously dust a baking sheet with whole-wheat flour, shape the dough and put it on the sheet to rise again for 30 minutes.
- Uncover loaves, spray with water, make a few diagonal slashes on each loaf, and put the loaves in an oven preheated to 400 degrees. Make sure there are a couple of little pans of water in the oven to provide moisture while cooking.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is medium brown and firm, sounding hollow when tapped. Cool on sheet for ten mintues and then go at it.
