50% Whole Wheat / 50% White Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cups water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine
  • 2 tablespoons molasses or honey
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons quick rise yeast

Instructions

  • Put the ingredients into the machine in the order they are listed. Set the machine setting to dough.
  • Line a large bowl with a linen cloth and sprinkle the bowl area generously with rice flour.
  • Clean a space on the counter and sprinkle with water, smearing it around.
  • Remove the dough from the machine, and shaping with your hands gently pull into a rectangle.
  • Fold into thirds (like a piece of paper - outside ends towards the middle).
  • Take the rectangle and fold into thirds again.
  • Place the dough, seam side down into the bowl and dust with rice flour.
  • Cover with the edges of the towel and set somewhere warm while the stove heats.
  • Take a dutch oven and line with parchment paper and place in the oven. Heat the oven to 350F.
  • Remove the pot from the oven. Score the top of the bread (to allow it to rise more) and place on the parchment paper. Careful of the hot edges!
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until browned to desired doneness.
  • Remove immediately from the pot and place on a rack to cool completely, before cutting.
