Ingredients

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried sweet marjoram
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In stand mixer bowl, add 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, corn meal and dried spices; mix well. In saucepan, heat water, evaporated milk and oil to 120-130°F. Add to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend at low speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes.
  • Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
    (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)
  • Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after poking dough with finger down to second knuckle, about 1 hour.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat into a 14×7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9×5-inch bread pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake for oven 30 to 40 minutes until crust is golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

A great recipe. Worked out a 2lb loaf in my bread machine. Tasted wonderful.

What size loaf are the baking instructions for?

Hi Francine,
If you are making this by hand (not using a bread machine), use the ‘medium loaf’ ingredient list. Bake in a 9×5-inch bread pan.

Happy baking!

Can I substitute white whole wheat for the bread flour in this recipe?

Red Star Yeast | Reply

Hi Marge,
You can substitute white whole wheat flour, but will most likely get a denser loaf. I would recommend substituting in 25-50% white ww flour and the remaining flour as bread flour to start with and go from there. Keep an eye on your dough so it is not too wet/dry – you may need to adjust the total amount of flour to compensate for the ww flour.

Happy baking!
Carol
