- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
2 loaves
ingredients
- 3 cups warm water (body temperature)
- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 1⁄2 - 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon steak spice (for savoury version)
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar (for sweet version)
directions
- Mix together in a large bread-making bowl the water, yeast and sugar.
- Allow this mixture to bubble and foam, then add the oil and vinegar.
- Add the bread flour cup by cup, stirring well after each addition.
- Then add the salt and the whole wheat flour, cup by cup, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be a bit wet and spongy.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Using a big spoon, spoon the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans. If necessary, press the sides down, helping to create the perfect loaf shape.
- With a knife, make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.
- Sprinkle with either the steak spice or raw sugar, depending upon whether you want sweet or savoury.
- Bake the loaves about 50 minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are golden brown and crusty on top and sound hollow when tapped on the underside.
- Let cool at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
