Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 to 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1 package regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the mashed potatoes (dry), brown sugar, salt, 3/4 teaspoon caraway seed and the yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat buttermilk, water and oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into potato mixture until blended. Stir in rye flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle.

Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
  • Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll dough into rope, about 3 inches thick and 25 inches long. Curl dough into coil shape; tuck ends under. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

You'll find it much easier to work with because letting it "rest" allows the gluten to relax and mikes it easier to handle.Did You KnowRye flour is milled from rye grain and is low in gluten-forming protein. Because it doesn't have enough gluten to make good bread, it is used with high-gluten flour such as bread flour.ShapingCurl rope into coil shape tuck end under.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
