10 Grain Bread
1 package Bob's Red Mill® Grain Bread Mix
Yeast Packet (included)
1 1/4 cups warm Water, about 110°F
3 Tbsp Oil
Oil a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Add contents of the yeast packet to the warm water and let activate for about 5 minutes. Combine mix, oil and yeast mixture in a large bowl.
Knead the dough within the bowl for 6-8 minutes, or use a dough hook attachment in a stand mixer for 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, the dough will be sticky to begin with. Once you've kneaded for a few minutes, it will become easier to handle.
Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down, cover and let rise until doubled again, about 30-40 minutes.
Form loaf and place in a prepared baking pan. Lightly brush the top with oil or melted butter, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a very warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. While the bread rises, preheat oven to 375°F.
When bread has risen, remove plastic wrap and transfer pan to the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes. To rest for doneness, thump top of loaf. A hollow sound indicates a properly baked loaf.
Carefully remove the loaf from the pan, place on a wire rack and cover with a towel. Let cool completely before slicing.
Makes 1 loaf.
