DIRECTIONS
3 cups (750 mL) tap water at 110°-115°F
1 TBSP (15 mL) sugar
6+3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast (or 3 pkg / 45 mL)
2 cups (500 mL) whole wheat flour
2 tsp (10 mL) salt
1+1/2 cups (375 mL) dark rye flour
4 cups (1L) bread flour
1. Mix in a large bowl water and sugar. Stir in Yeast. Beat until no lumps remain, then add the whole wheat flour, salt and dark rye flour. Beat until smooth.
2. Mix in 3 cups (750 mL) of bread flour. Gradually work in as much of the remaining cup of flour as needed, working it in with your hands, pressing flour into dough and turning dough over.
3. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
4. Sprinkle top of dough with 1/4 cup (60 mL) bread flour and punch down. Place on floured counter. Flatten out with hands to a square 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut in three equal pieces, keeping each piece well floured.
5. Oil three 9- x 5- x 2-inch (22.5 x 12 x 5 cm) loaf pans. Roll each section jelly roll fashion. Seal edges. Place seam side down in each bread pan. Let rise covered for 1 hour or until doubled.
6. Baked in a preheated, 375°F (190°C) oven for 20 minutes. Turn oven down to 350°F (180°C). Bake for a further 20 minutes.
7. Remove from pans to racks.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) in place of Active Dry Yeast in your recipes. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Use equal amounts when baking using traditional methods. When using the Bread Machine, use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
