-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water -- (105-115F)
3 tablespoons molasses -- or sorgham
2 cups buckwheat flour
4 cups stone ground whole wheat flour -- divided
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
Buckwheat has an earthy, nutty flavor and from the time you open the
package, through the kneading, baking, and eating, buckwheat's aroma
and taste grab center stage. Buckwheat bread makes hearty sandwiches
or toast and is fantastic with bananas or whichever fruit you choose.
Makes: 2 loaves (about 28 slices total)
In a lg bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, then add the
sorghum or molasses. Stir until the yeast is dissolved, then let
stand until the yeast begins to foam, about 5 min.
Stir in the buckwheat flour and 1C of whole wheat flour, beating
vigorously for about 1 min. Cover with a clean dish towl and place in
a warm spot for about 30 min to create a sponge.
Fold in the salt and oil, then work in the remaining 3C of whole
wheat flour. Add the 1/2C of unbleached white flour as needed to
prevent it from sticking.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, about 5-10 min. Lightly oil a lg bowl place the
dough inside, turning it over in the oil, and cover with the dish
towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size,
about 1-1 1/2 hrs.
Lightly oil two 8x4" loaf pans.
Punch the dough down and divide it in two. Shape the loaves and place
them in the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with the dish towel and
let them rise again until they double in size, about 45 min-1 hr. At
this point, the dough, when pressed with a finger, should dent rather
than fill back in.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Bake the loaves for 35-40 min, or until a
tester comes out clean. Cool the loaves in the pans for 5 min, then
remove to a wire rack to cool.
