Pharaoh Bread Updated, Bread Machine

This marvelous bread uses grains and ingredients that were available to the Pharaoh's. Baking time is however long your bread maker takes. The Zaar computer wouldn't accept "pure malt powder" and insisted on "drink powder", you do not want it flavored but just plain malt powder. If you can't find it try the bread without it. It's there to assist the bread in rising so it might not be as tall without it but that isn't to say that it wouldn't be an acceptable loaf. Show more
