Time 3h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup dry buttermilk
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup water
1 large egg
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 3/4 teaspoons yeast (preferrably fast rising)
3/4 cup currants or 3/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seed
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten (optional)

Steps:

  • Process all ingredients in your bread machine set on the dough cycle.
  • Remove from bread machine, punch down, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare a baking sheet (I cover it with parchment paper). Punch the dough down, and shape it into an 8-inch circle, slightly flattened. Cover with wax paper, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Slash the top of the dough with a large X. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for 15 more minutes.
  • Don't forget leftovers, if any, are great for sandwiches.
