Serves/Makes:1 2 lb. loaf

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) water
• 1 tbsp (15 ml). molasses
• 2-2/3 cups (625 ml) bread flour
• 1 cup (225 ml) whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) wheat bran
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) 10 grain cereal (I used 9 grain cereal)
• 2 tbsp (30 ml). steel cut oats
• 2 tbsp (30 ml). rye flakes
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar
• 2 tsp (10 ml). salt
• 2 tsp (10 ml). powdered caramel coloring
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml). diastatic malt powder
• 1 tbsp (15 ml). vital wheat gluten
• 2 tsp (10 ml). to 3 tsp (15 ml) yeast (use the amount of yeast you usually use for a whole wheat bread)

Preparation

• Place in bread machine in order recommended by the manufacturer.
• I use my machine to make dough and bake it in the oven because you get a much better crust.
• To get a shiny crust I make a wash of malt syrup (honey would work just as well) and water to brush on just before baking.
• A dough enhancer with diastatic malt powder and vital wheat gluten can be substituted for them.

Comments

I bought a loaf of Chart House Squaw Bread at Costco, took the list of ingredients and after many loaves have come up with this recipe. I bake my bread with sourdough instead of yeast but have converted the recipe into one with yeast. You may have to play a little with the brown sugar if it is too sweet or not sweet enough.
