preparation
Into a bowl, put warm water, yeast, honey and 4 cups whole-wheat flour. Mix together and let rise twice, stirring down sponge each time (15 minutes; stir and let set 15 or more minutes). Add in the order given: 3 cups whole-wheat flour, lemon, lecithin or oil and 4 to 4 1/2 cups more whole-wheat or unbleached flour. Don't add too much flour, just enough to make a soft dough. Knead a little. Shape into loaves. Let rise until double. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Add corn meal and oil to bottom of bread pan. Let it sit in the pan 30 minutes before cooking. |
