Molasses Fiber Bread
A dark loaf with the light sweetness of molasses, this bread is a hit when toasting, for your sandwiches or on its own. The mixed grains and milk give it a marvellous texture and the sweet aroma while baking will make your mouth water!
Ingredients
- 333/500 cup(s) water, lukewarm
- 333/1000 cup(s) milk, lukewarm
- 1 large egg, mixed with a fork
- 3 tablespoon(s) molasses
- 1 333/500 tablespoon(s) soft margarine
- 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 cup(s) natural bran (not the cereal)
- 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup(s) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup(s) rolled oats (not the instant variety)
- 1/8 cup(s) rolled oats, to sprinkle on top of loaf
- 1/4 cup(s) wheat germ
- 1/4 cup(s) psyllium
- 2 1/4 teaspoon(s) fast rising yeast
- 3/4 cup(s) raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into your bread machine according to manufacturers instructions (or mix by hand).
- Allow the ingredients to mix well.
- Turn your machine off after the first mixing cycle is complete.
- Remove the dough and allow it to rest 10 minutes on a lightly floured board.
- Knead lightly and shape into a round loaf.
- Place into a greased cake pan and sprinkle with oats.
- If your dough is not sticky enough to hold the oats, brush lightly with egg white & slash the top of your loaf before adding the oats.
- This will also help to give a 'crisp' crust to your bread.
- Cover with a damp warm towel and set in a warm place to rise (about 1 hr).
- Place in a 375 degrees preheated oven and bake about 40 minutes or till bread tests done (removing it from the pan, tapping the bottom of your loaf lightly should produce a 'hallow' sound).
- Remove the loaf and allow cooling slowly on a wire rack and covering with a tea towel.
