This is an easy, basic recipe for bread and doesn't require much skill. There is more than one way to make bread, this is my way. It may not be the best way but this is my method. Making your own bread needs a little hard work but it's great fun and the delicious smell and taste of freshly baked bread makes it all worth while. And it saves lots of money.
It is a mysterious business, this making of bread,
and once you are hooked by the miracle of yeast,
you'll be a breadmaker for life.
James Bread, from Beard on Bread 1980
5 cups Flour
Wheat germ
Bran
Flax seed
Raisin – as a sugar substitute and my kids love having raisins in their bread
2 (.25ounces) of instant Yeast
2 teaspoons Baking powder
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons Butter
Enough water to make a soft smooth dough ball
Grease and flour bread pans.
In clean bowl add flour, wheat germ, bran and flax seed combine well; add butter, salt and baking powder. Use enough water until the ingredients come together to make a soft, smooth dough ball. Leave to rest for 20 mins.
After the 20 min. Period the dough ball should have doubled or sometimes tripled in size, punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not over bake.
Remove from oven and lightly tap bottom of pan to remove bread. This must be done as soon as the bread comes out of the oven while still hot.
So In Trini lingo...” I just had to show off” so here it is
