-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Sponge:
1 1/2 cups cool water -- (12 oz
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- King
Arthur, (6 1/4 oz)
1/2 cup pumpernickel flour -- (2 oz)
Dough:
2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- King
Arthur, (9 1/2 oz)
1/2 cup Harvest Grains Blend -- or mixed seeds of
your choice, (2 3/4 oz)
Using a sponge (starter) to create this bread increases its flavor
and enhances its texture.
To make the sponge: Mix the sponge ingredients together, and let rest
at room temperature, covered, for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
To make the dough: Stir down the sponge, and add the salt and flour.
Mix and knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. Knead in the
Harvest Grains Blend or your choice of seeds. Place the dough in a
greased bowl, turning to coat its surface with oil. Cover and let
rise in a warm spot for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased surface, and form it into a
ball. Place on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, or
into an ovenproof crock. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour. Towards
the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 450F.
Gently but firmly slash the dough across the top, then spritz it with
water. Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, until it's deep golden
brown. Remove it from the oven and place it on a rack to cool. Cool
completely before slicing.
Yield: 1 loaf.
