Alberta Barley - a hearty, healthy choice!

ABC Bread

3 3/4 cups
3 Tbsp
2 Tbsp
water, fairly warm
honey or sugar
regular yeast

925 mL
45 mL
30 mL
2 ¼ cups
6 ¾ cups
1 Tbsp
3 Tbsp
3 Tbsp
whole barley flour
white bread flour
salt
lemon juice
oil or shortening
550 mL
1675 mL
15 mL
45 mL
45 mL

In a large mixing bowl, combine water, honey and yeast. Let sit for approximately 10 minutes to proof the yeast. In the meantime, mix the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Add half the dry ingredients and stir into a batter. Add the lemon juice and oil and then begin slowly adding some of the remaining flour mixture. When the mixture becomes quite thick and difficult to handle, turn the mixture out of the bowl and knead vigorously for 10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes by machine.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes, then knead by hand again for 2 –3 minutes, form into 3 or 4 loaves and put into greased baking pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Bake in a 360° F (185° C) oven for about half an hour or until done.
