Daily Bread
- 2 pkg. yeast ("Rapid Rise" makes process quick)
- 2 c. liquid (water, milk, vegetable stock, juice)
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. oil (olive, butter, margarine, etc.)
- 2 Tbsp. sugar (honey, molasses, etc.)
- 1 c. alternative grains (oatmeal, cornmeal, cooked grits, 1/4 c. bran cereals, cracked and whole wheat flour, etc.)
- 4 to 5 c. plain flour (the amount varies significantly)
- Mix yeast with liquid which is warm (105u0b0 to 115u0b0).
- Add remaining ingredients, except flour.
- Mix well.
- Let sit a few minutes for yeast to "proof" (it will begin to bubble).
- Add flour 1 cup at a time.
- At some point, you will need to put dough on a board which is generously floured.
- Continue adding flour until dough can be easily worked.
- (It is hard to predetermine the amount of flour needed as moisture contents of flours vary.) You'll develop a "feel" for this.
- Shape rolls or loaves.
- Let rise until double.
- Bake at 350u0b0, 8 to 10 minutes for rolls or 20 to 30 minutes for loaves.
