Squaw Honey-Rye Bread
"This bread was the house bread at a restaurant called The Captain's Table
in Daytona Beach, Fl. I fell in love with it but couldn't talk the chef into giving me the recipe, so I went home and started looking for one like it. This recipe is one I found in a BM cookbook and adapted it to manual directions. I played with the original recipe to make it soft and spongy like grocery store bread and this is how I make it now. It's slightly sweet like a breakfast bread.

Absolutely love this bread! We really liked the flour combo, & I appreciated the fact that there were raisins in it! Actually, most of the time we enjoy a nutty, whole grain bread as a stable, but I have enjoyed squaw bread in the past, & now having a recipe that I can rely on makes it especially nice! Definitely a keeper of a recipe, for sure! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef] -
DAR, this is one awesome bread. So differant with all the differant flours, a very slight sweet taste that we enjoyed. The texture is perfect for slicing for sandwiches. I did leave out the raisons, as personal preferance (can't stand the things) and mixed the dough in my bread machine for ease and the end results were nothing short of amazing. Can't thank you enough for posting this recipe and you can bet I'll be using it often. Made for PAC Fall 2011 -
Excellent bread for our Rueben sandwich. Loved how soft and nice it was. Took longer than usual to raise but with only 1 t. yeast I kind of expected that.
