- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup gluten flour

- 4 -6 cups unbleached flour
- 3 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast

- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄4 cup butter
directions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water. Pour boiling water over cornmeal and oatmeal; let stand until cool.
- Add honey, butter and salt to yeast mixture. Stir in bran, then whole wheat flour.
- Add cooled cereal mixture, then add unbleached flour a cup at a time until mixture is stiff enough to knead.

While this is a good bread, it really is just a standard tasting multi-grain bread. Squaw bread, as I know it growing up in California, is a much darker, sweeter, richer-tasting bread. This doesn't taste like squaw bread that I've ever known.Reply

Delicious! I halved the ingredients and made 2 round loaves of bread. This was easy to make with lots of healthy ingredients. It also makes great toast. My family loved it, thank you for sharing.Reply
