directions

  • Put the whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl and place in a warm oven (low setting!).
  • Both flour and bowl should be warm when you make the bread.
  • Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water and blend in the molasses.
  • Let proof.
  • Add another 1/2 cup of water.
  • Combine flour, yeast mixture and salt.
  • Add enough warm water to make a wet sticky dough.
  • This will vary according to flour and humidity conditions.
  • Put directly into a buttered 9x5x3-inch bread pan.
  • Cover and set in a warm spot.
  • Allow dough to rise by 1/3 its original size.
  • This goes faster than you might think Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Turn off oven and leave loaf on rack for about 20 minutes to brown all over while cooling.
  • For a twist add in some Quaker oats to the mix and sprinkle some on top before baking.
  • This is an ideal bread with tea and butter.
