100 PERCENT WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

12 servings

1 package active dry yeast
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3/4 cup warm water, (105F-115F)
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons instant nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, or egg whites
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon salt


STIR YEAST AND SUGAR into water; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. For food processor fitted with metal blade or mixer with dough hook, put flour, milk powder, oil and egg or egg whites into bowl. Turn machine on and combine mixture. With machine running, slowly add yeast mixture. Mix until dough cleans sides of bowl. If dough is too sticky, add more flour by the tablespoon, working it in before adding more. If dough is crumbly and dry, add more water by the teaspoon, working it in before adding more. Once desired consistency is reached (moist but not sticky), mix dough until well kneaded, uniformly supple and elastic, about 40 seconds in food processor, about 6 minutes in mixer. If mixing by hand, put ingredients in large bowl. Mix well. Make well in center, pour in yeast mixture and work into ingredients, then knead on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Transfer dough to large plastic bag, squeeze out air and seal at top. Place dough in bowl. Let rise in warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Oil a baking sheet. Punch dough down and shape into smooth ball. Place smooth side up on baking sheet. Cover loosely with oiled plastic. Let rise in warm spot until doubled, about 40-50 minutes. Preheat oven to 375F. Fifteen minutes before baking, put rack in center of oven; dust dough top lightly with flour. Make a decorative slash across the top. Bake until bread is well browned and sounds hollow when rapped on bottom, about 30-35 minutes. Immediately remove from pan and cool on rack. Makes 1 Loaf

ALEXANDRIAN CUMIN BREAD

1 servings

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 package dried yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
1 cup plus 3 oz. lukewarm water


1) Place the flour, yeast, salt, and ground cumin in a large mixing bowl. Blend well. Add the water and mix the dough for 2-3 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and evenly distributed. The dough will be damp and very sticky, but no internal dry areas should appear by the end of the mixing. If they do, mix a few minutes more, or add a little more water and mix again.

2) Let the dough rest 5 minutes. Now sprinkle 1 or 2 tbsps. flour over the dough and knead, either in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic and only slightly sticky. Add more flour if needed (e.g. in humid weather). Let the dough rest for 2 minutes more.

3) The dough should now be very smooth and easy to handle. Knead 30 seconds more, return the dough to the bowl, cover the bowl with a dish towel or large plate, and let rise at room temperature for at least 3 hours; the dough should almost triple in size.

4) Flour the top of the dough lightly, punch it down, and remove the dough from the mixing bowl. Form the dough into a rectangular loaf and place in a well greasad loaf pan, 9-1/4 in. by 5-1/4 in. by 2-3/4 in. Cover with a towel and let rise 1 hr., until nicely risen.

5) Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes, until browned on top; the bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped with the finger. Let the bread cool, then serve.

BARA BRITH (SPECKLED BREAD)

12 servings

6 ounces dried fruit
8 ounces dark brown sugar
1/2 pint strong hot tea
10 ounces self-raising flour
1 egg


This is Wales' traditional rich fruit bread. South Wales makes it with baking powder; Northerners prefer yeast as the raising agent. Either way it's delicious.

Soak the dried fruit and sugar overnight in the tea. You can use either fresh tea, or the cold dregs from the teapot (this gives a good strong colour). Next day, sieve the flour and fold it it into the fruit. Mix in the lightly beaten egg. Line a small loaf-tin with buttered paper then tip in the mixture, smoothing it well into the corners.

Bake in a gentle oven at 300 F (150 C) gas mark 2 for 1 1/2 hours. Cool and store for at least 2 days in a tin so that it matures moist and rich. Traditionalists say you should never butter the Bara Brith, but Dorothy says do, as it's lovely that way.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES

6 servings

1 cup water
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
2/3 cup white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter


Buckwheat pancakes are great, but here's something a little more elegant: buckwheat crepes. Serve them with melted butter and cinnamon sugar.

TO MAKE BATTER IN A BLENDER, put all ingredients into a blender jar in order given, and blend briefly at medium speed. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender jar; then blend for another 5 seconds or so. Pour out the batter into a bowl, cover and let rest for 1 hour before using. To make batter by hand, beat the eggs slightly, add milk, water, salt and melted butter, then gradually whisk in flours. Pour the batter through a strainer and let sit for 1/2 hour before using. To cook crepes, melt a little butter in a crepe pan and cook. As buckwheat has an enormous capacity to absorb liquid, you might find it necessary to thin the batter with more milk or water.

BUTTER-DIPPED BISCUITS

18 servings

1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk


Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the butter in a square pan 9 X 9 X 2-inches, in the oven until the butter is melted. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the milk and stir with a fork just until a soft dough forms, about 30 strokes. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured cloth-covered board. Coat the dough lightly with flour. Knead lightly about 10 times. Roll or pat the dough into an 8-inch square. With a floured butter knife, cut the dough into halves, then cut each half into 9 strips. Dip each strip into the melted butter, coating both sides. Arrange the strips close together in two rows in the pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

1/2 cup buttermilk

Have all ingreds. at room temp. except water. Put into pan in order listed. Set on White Bread setting. Check whether too wet or dry during knead cycle. Correct with a TBSP or so more of water or flour, if necessary. This is a dense loaf and I like it best toasted. Kyllikki, there is also a seed bread loaf and a Potato Loaf Bread that I'll be glad to send you adaptions to use s/d starter with, if you're interested.

ONCE THE DOUGH IS DEFROSTED, knead it along with the cheese and dill on a lightly floured work space. Knead until well mixed, adding small amounts of flour, as needed, to keep the dough from sticking. Form into a log about 9 inches long. Put log on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or lightly greased. Cover with a towel and allow it to rise in a draft-free place until doubled in size, about 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375F. Place the pan on middle rack of oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Brush the top with the glaze and sprinkle on the remaining cheese, then return the bread to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool on a rack before slicing it. Makes 1 Loaf
