This is an old recipe that I enjoy making often for my family. I don't think there's anything better than eating hot homemade bread on a cold day. Ingredients:
1/2 cup cornmeal |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar or 1/3 cup honey |
1 tablespoon salt |
2 cups boiling water |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
3/4 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup rye flour |
4-1/2 to 5-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine cornmeal, sugar or honey, salt, boiling water and oil. Let cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5 minutes. Stir into cornmeal mixture. Add whole wheat flour, rye flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic; about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Divide into two balls. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into two loaves and place in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pans and let cool on a wire rack. Yield: 2 loaves.
