Yummy Recipe

I love the ease and speed with which one can make bread following the Pantry Secrets method using a stand mixer and the kookie ingredients you buy at a specialty store or order online.  Here's my version of the most wonderful squaw bread from a combination of a bread maker recipe and the Pantry Secrets method.

Squaw Bread - makes 2 loaves

2 1/4 cups bread flour ( I like Lehi Roller Mills Flour)
2 cups whole wheat flour (I like to grind my own)
1 cup rye flour (grind my own - can buy grain at specialty store like Kitchen Kneads)
1 1/4 tablespoon Saf-instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
Mix dry ingredients.


Add:
2 tablespoons liquid lecithin (specialty store or health food store)
1/4 cup applesauce  (if kitchen is cool, heat in microwave if taken from fridge)
1/4 cup honey
1 3/4 cup hot tap water


After adding hot water, mix 1 minute using dough hook on mixer.  Check consistency of dough.  It should still be very sticky.  If not, add a little more water.  Mix for 10 minutes.  Spray counter and pans with pan spray.  Shape loaves (spray hands with pan spray, too), put dough in pans, cover with dish towel.  Raise 29 minutes.  (In winter when kitchen is cold, I put a pan of hot water in oven on bottom rack and put loaves on middle rack to rise.)  Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.  Remove loaves from pans carefully and immediately onto cooling racks.
