CRUNCHY FARMHOUSE BREAD (BREADMAKER)
This is a big, beautiful, delicious loaf. Don't let the list of ingredients put you off. I also make this bread using a couple of loaf pans.

Steps:
- 1. Choose whole grain setting or the dough setting. Put ingredients in pan according to your machines' instructions. - I prefer to use the dough method and finish it in the oven because the loaf is prettier and because the amount of dough is a bit too big for my bread machine at 2-lb. setting.
- 2. If using the dough method, when the dough is ready punch it down and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round loaf, stretching dough all around and pinching underneath to shape. Dust top with flour; place on greased baking sheet. Cover with clean towel and let rise until doubled in bulk (45 to 60 minutes).
- 3. Using a serrated knife slice shallow grid pattern on top of loaf. Bake in center of 350 degree F. oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom. (You can also check using an instant-read thermometer - 190-200 degrees.)
- 4. Remove from pan and let cool on rack before slicing. Makes one big loaf, 24 slices.
