HONEY WHEAT MINI-LOAVES image

Yield 8 mini-loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 C warm water
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 C honey
2 C unbleached flour
2 C wheat flour
1 Tbsp cocoa
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp coffee
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp. yeast (bread machine)
3 Tbsp cornmeal to dust loaves

Put all ingredients in the bread machine on the dough cycle.When the cycle is complete. turn out onto a floured board and pat into an even rectangle. Cut into 8 pieces, as equal as possible. Form into cigar shaped loaves. Place on greased cookie sheets and dust with cornmeal. Allow to rainse until double. Bake @ 350 degrees, 20-25 min. until brown

Tips:

Use a digital kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your loaves turn out perfect every time.
Make sure your yeast is active before using it. You can do this by proofing it in warm water with a little bit of sugar. If the yeast bubbles and foams, it is active and ready to use.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your loaves a chewy texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the dough to rise.
Bake the loaves in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Let the loaves cool completely before slicing and serving.
