Four-Grain Batter Bread

Batter breads are easy. There is no kneading and only one rise time, but you still get the same great aroma and taste.

Directions

  • 1 In large bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the sugar, salt, baking soda and yeast. Add milk and water. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • 2 Stir in whole wheat flour, wheat germ, oats and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a stiff batter.
  • 3 Grease 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Divide batter evenly between pans. With floured hands, pat tops of loaves to round. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Cover; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until batter is about 1 inch below tops of pans.
  • 4 Heat oven to 400°F. Bake about 25 minutes or until loaves are light brown. Remove from pans to cooling rack; cool.

LOVE this! Great, rustic style bread. Really like that it has the whole grains in it. I divided the recipe in half, for one loaf, and it made up perfectly. Also makes great toast. This makes more of a dense, "old world" type bread, and you can't beat how easy and fast it is. Forget the breadmaker! This will be my new "go-to" bread recipe.
