We've been enjoying this slightly sweet bread almost daily for more than 10 years. A fellow teacher shared the recipe with me when my family lived in New York. I was sure to pack up the recipe when we headed west. &Mdash; Evelyn Newlands, Sun Lakes, Arizona

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 cups Sourdough Starter
  • 3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Canola oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, honey, molasses, Sourdough Starter, wheat germ, sugar, baking soda, salt, whole wheat flour and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Brush with oil. Bake at 375° until browned, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
