One of my favorite things is homemade bread, slathered with butter and topped with a slice of cheese. Butter just soaks in the home made bread, which is why I dare not make it too often. My son Jason recently sent me his recipe for bread he says is his go to recipe to make, its fairly fast to put together and there is no kneading. I don’t have the stamina to do that for very long. I loved this bread, I would call it rustic. The texture is a little coarser than some bread (the better for butter to soak into it!).
Everyday Bread: 2 pkg. quick acting yeast 3 1/2 cups hot water 1/3 cup honey 4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 5 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/3 cup flax meal 1/3 cup sunflower seeds Butter the inside of two 9x5 in. loaf pans and a large enough piece of waxed paper to cover both of them. In a large bowl, mix the yeast with the water, let set until bubbly. Add honey, salt and then flours and seeds. Mix well. Scrape the dough into pans and cover with buttered waxed paper. Let rise for about an hour or until doubles in size. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake loaves for 30 minutes. Remove bread from pans and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes. Bread is done when it is richly brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Have a great week!
