Ingrients & Directions


4 oz White bread flour
10 oz Whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 c Water
1 ts Yeast
1 tb Malted milk
1/2 c Oats
2 tb Powdered milk
1 1/2 tb Oil

Preset machine to WW regular about 15 min before sponge is mixed. Sponge:
Warm water, yeast (sprinkled on top, mixed in) with 4oz bread flour with
about 1/4 cup ww flour. Pour into machines basket. Put in flour next
followed by rest of ingredents. Rise time for sponge is about 15-20 min.

? thought the texture of the white bread was a tad too course. So I tried
making a sponge with the water, about 4oz of flour, 1 Tbs malt and yeast.
Let rise 15min, pour in and add rest of ingredients. Worked like a charm.
Very light and fluffy with even, small holes.

In moving to a more whole wheat bread, I’ve tried to use the same
technique, but with the whole wheat setting. This has a 30 min rest before
mixing the ingredients and lets the bread rise/rest three times. I let the
sponge rise 15 min by choosing the WW setting ahead of time.?BR>
