Who doesn’t love the smell of bread baking?  In fact, realtors tell their clients to bake when hot prospects will be looking at a  house.

This is my favorite basic recipe.  It will take some elbow grease, but the result is well worth your effort.  I like this bread so much I made sure Breelan, the heroine from The Goodbye Lie, is making it during her cooking lesson when the man she loves unexpectedly visits.

     Enjoy,

Breelan's Crusty Multigrain
Bread Recipe

You'll need:

  • 2 1/2 cups warm water (not hot)
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 cups multi-grain flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 4 cups unbleached all-purposed flour
  • 1/3 cup ground cornmeal
  • 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon cool water (optional)

Add the yeast to warm water in a room temperature mixing bowl. 

Add the salt and oil, and gradually stir in all the flour.  Knead by hand for several minutes.  The dough will be sticky, but be careful not to add more flour or it will dry out. 

Place dough in greased bowl.  Add a little oil to the top of dough to make sure it is coated on all sides.  Cover with a tea towel and place in warm area to let it rise until doubled in size, about an hour. 

Punch the dough down, and divide it into two balls.  Roll each ball out on a very lightly floured surface and form two loaves about 12 inches long.  

Place both loaves on a greased cookie sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal.

Cover the loaves with the tea towel and let them rise until doubled, about an hour. 

Remove the towel, and carefully slice a line down the middle of each loaf, about ½ inch deep. 

Preheat oven to 425° F and bake the loaves for 20 to 25 minutes. 

While the bread is baking, beat the egg white and 1 tablespoon of cool water together.  Paint the tops of the baked loaves, and bake them 3 to 5 more minutes or until golden.
