Squaw Bread

Recipe Information
Source: Cheryl Watson 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.
