-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup water
1/2 tss active dry yeast
5 1/2 cups whole wheat bread flour -- to 6C
1/4 cup sesame oil -- or wasnut or other oil
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 cups milk -- or unsweetened soy milk, scalded
and cooled to lukewarm
This light, spicy fragrant bread is festive for holidays but
appealing all year round. This dough makes delicious English Muffins also.
Prep: 1 hr for sponge and dough
Rising: 5 hrs
Bake: 40-50 min
Yield: 2 round loaves
Heat the water and cool it to lukewarm. Add the yeast and a teaspoon
of flour, cover, and set it in a warm spot to proof. Stir in 1/2C
flour, cover, and set it in a draft-free spot for about 30 min, or
until a sponge deveops.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sponge, oil, honey, egg, spice,
salt, and milk. Gradually stir in enough of the remainig flour to form a dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cover it for
several minutes. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, adding
flour as necesary to keep it from sticking.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl.
Cover and set it aside for about 2 hours, until the dough and risen
and does not spring back when pressed. Turn the dough out and knead
it briefly. Return it to the bowl for a second rise.
Shape two round loaves and put them in lightly greased pans or on a
baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Cover the loaves and set
them aside to rise for about an hour, or until the dough rebounds
slowly when pressed.
Slash the tops of the loaves, and brush them with an egg wash if you
wish. Bake at 400F for 20 min, then lower the heat to 350F, and bake
for 20-30 min longer until the loaves are brown, have firm sides and
sound distinctly hollow when removed from the pans taped on the bottom.
Cool the bread thoroughly before slicing or storing it.
