Cinnamon enhances the whole wheat flavor in this country-style loaf, and raisins and walnuts add sweetness and crunch. It makes wonderful bread to use for grilled cheese sandwiches and is a perfect accompaniment to fruit salad or potato soup.
_ cups whole wheat flour
_ package regular or quick active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
_ cups very warm water (120 to 130*)
_ tablespoons packed brown sugar
_ tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
_ teaspoons ground cinnamon
_ teaspoons salt
_ to 2 1/2 cups bread flour
_ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
_ cup raisins
Cornmeal
1. Mix whole wheat flour and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water. Beat with wire whisk or electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand 15 minutes.
2. Stir in brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, salt and 1 cup of the bread flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, smooth dough forms.
3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Knead in walnuts and raisins. Place dough in large bowl greased with shortening, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
4. Grease uninsulated cookie sheet with shortening; sprinkle with cornmeal. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Gently shape into an even, round ball, without releasing all of the bubbles in the dough. Stretch sides of dough downward to make a smooth top. Place loaf with smooth side up on cookie sheet. Spray loaf with cool water. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until almost double.
5. Heat oven to 375°. Spray loaf with cool water. Carefully cut 1/4-inch-deep slashes in tic-tac-toe pattern on top of loaf with sharp serrated knife.
6. Place in oven; spray with cool water. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf is dark brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.
TIP: Gently shape by stretching sides of dough downward to make a smooth top.
