Wheat berry bread is a hearty sandwich bread. Cooked wheat berries 
add texture, and the wheat bran gives the surface a nice rustic 
finish. The recipe makes two loaves, so you can freeze one for later.

Makes: 2 loaves
Yield: 18 servings
Serving Size: 1 slice

Combine water and wheat berries in a saucepan; bring to a boil. 
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until tender. Drain wheat in 
a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid; set wheat 
berries aside.

Let reserved cooking liquid stand until warm (100 to 110F). Stir 
yeast into cooking liquid.

Combine milk, honey, and salt in a small, heavy saucepan, stirring 
with a whisk until honey and salt dissolve. Heat milk mixture over 
medium heat until warm (100 to 110F). Add milk mixture to yeast 
mixture, stirring with a whisk; let stand 5 minutes.

Lightly spoon 3 cups bread flour, whole wheat flour, and amaranth 
flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Stir 2 1/2 cups 
bread flour, whole wheat flour, and amaranth flour into yeast mixture.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic 
(about 10 minutes); add up to 1/2 cup bread flour, 1 tablespoon at a 
time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).

Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to 
coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 
1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If 
indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.)

Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Coat two 9 x 5" loaf 
pans with cooking spray; dust each with 1 tablespoon bread flour.

Divide dough in half. Working with 1 portion at a time (cover 
remaining dough to keep from drying), knead half of wheat berries 
into dough; place dough in prepared pan. Sprinkle dough with 1 
tablespoon wheat bran. Repeat procedure with remaining dough, wheat 
berries, and wheat bran. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until 
doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Bake at 375F for 45 minutes or until golden. Cool loaves in pans 10 
minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
