Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. warm water
  • 2 pkg. dry yeast
  • 2 c. warm water
  • 1/2 c. nonfat dry milk
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. cornmeal
  • 2 c. whole wheat bread flour
  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2 c. granola

Method

  • Grease two 5 x 9-inch loaf pans.
  • Put 1/2 cup warm (105°) water in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over.
  • Stir and let stand to dissolve for 5 minutes. Add the 2 cups warm water, dry milk and butter; stir to blend. Beat in the salt, cornmeal and whole wheat flour and mix until smooth.
  • Add 2 cups flour and beat until well mixed.
  • Add as much more flour as needed to make a manageable dough. Add the granola. Turn the dough onto a floured board (or use dough hook of electric mixer) and knead for a minute.
  • Let dough rest 10 minutes. Resume kneading until the dough is elastic, about 5 more minutes.
  • Put the dough in a greased bowl and turn to coat all sides.
  • Cover and let rise to double its bulk.
  • Punch dough down and divide in half.
  • Shape into loaves and put in prepared pans.
  • Let rise to the tops of the pans.
  • Bake in preheated 350° oven for 45 minutes or until lightly browned and done. Cool on wire racks.
