  • Total 2 hr 50 min
  • Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 3 to 3 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2/3 cup Cascadian Farm® organic oats & honey granola or cinnamon raisin granola

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour, the salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water, buttermilk, honey and butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into flour mixture until blended. Stir in granola. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • 2
    Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
  • 3
    Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Shape dough into round loaf, about 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until about 7 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • 4
    Heat oven to 400°F. Make 2 long cuts in top of dough to resemble one large "+" sign with sharp knife. Brush or spray top of dough with water. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.
