Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 3/4 ts Yeast
1 t Malt
11 oz Water (110 - 120 deg.F)
3 c Whole Wheat flour
1/2 c Unbleached white flour
2 tb Sugar, honey, molasses...
1 t Salt
2 tb Gluten

put yeast and malt into machine with several oz. of
water. Use a thermometer
for the water. Too hot will kill the yeast. The yeast
will now proof (start
to multiply) In a separate bowl, measure out all dry
ingredients and mix. After a few minutes, yeast should
be bubbling, add dry stuff and any liquids
including the water. start the machine and see how it
looks. If too dry, add
until it looks right. Should be one big mass not
several. Flour: I often substitute 1 cup of corn or
rye + 1 heaping T of gluten for a
cup of WW flour.
For sweet breads, add another few T of sugar (I
commonly use honey, molasses,
or malt powder) and may some raisins.
3 T of carroway seeds or sesame seeds in a non sweet
bread is great. I have also added 2 mashed bananas,
then cut the water.
