This is a simple recipe for a hardy bread that our Grandpa taught us. This is best eaten right out of the oven, with butter! We use a food processor to mix the dough, but I'm sure it could be mixed by hand.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 ounce fast rising yeast (quick or rapid)
1 1/2 cups warm water
cornmeal
Directions:
1. Put dry ingredients in a food processor; turn on processor to mix.
2. Add warm water till dough binds.
3. Place dough on a floured board and knead 3-4 times.
4. Shape dough into a ball, put in a warm bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 1/2 hour.
5. Knead dough again approximately 10 times; return to a warm covered bowl for two hours.
6. Sprinkle corn meal on a cookie sheet.
7. Knead dough until smooth, form into a loaf shape, place on the cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal; cover with a warm damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
8. Remove towel, score top of loaf several times with a sharp knife.
9. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
