Recipe 54: Four-Grain Batter Bread
I think I have a new favorite bread: Betty Crocker's Four-Grain Batter Bread. And it is super quick to make, only 1 hour and 50 minutes. I followed the directions exactly, and the process went WAY faster than expected. I mixed the bread flour (all-purpose would have worked too), salt, yeast, sugar and baking soda together. Then I warmed the milk to 122 degrees exactly (thank you meat thermometer! Yes, I used a meat thermometer to detect the temperature of my milk) before adding it to the flour. I turned Sally on, and the batter climbed her beaters. I added the rest of the grains and bread flour (to total 4 3/4 cups of bread flour), then beat it with a wooden spoon. The wonderful thing about it: it is a NO-KNEAD DOUGH!!!
I divided the dough in half and formed each into the loaf pans. I covered with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes. Lucky for me, my whole apartment (the whole one room) is so gosh darn hot that the bread proofed past where it was suppose to, and in 20 minutes. So I popped them in the oven. 400 degrees for 30 minutes. I couldn't resist trying a piece tonight. I spread a bit of butter on it, and it just melted in my mouth. It had a wonderful nutty flavor from the whole wheat flour and wheat germ. My only complaint is a mild and easily fixable one: I used too much cornmeal to dust the pans. Just reduce that and the taste (and texture) would be even better! related searches : Recipe
