I can't remember where I found this but it was somewhere on the internet. If you don't have instant yeast, you can use active dry yeast and heat water, honey, and butter to 125 degrees before adding it to the mixture, that's what I do. This bread goes great with everything! I recommend chicken salad. Despite the many instructions and ingredients, this is quite easy. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water |
2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
1/2 cup honey |
2 cups bread flour |
1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour |
1 tablespoon cocoa |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
2 teaspoons instant coffee |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Stir until dough comes together and pulls away from sides of bowl.
3. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
4. Transfer to lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides.
5. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, at least 1 hour.
6. Shape into 4 long loaves and place on lightly greased cookie sheet, cover.
7. Let rise for 1 hour.
8. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 30-35 minutes. Baking times will vary.
