Savory Granny White

Savory Granny White

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter (margarine will work, but not as well)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tablespoons yeast

Directions:
Dissolve honey and water. The warmer they are, the easier they'll
mix. Add the yeast, whisk it all together, and set aside.
Blend the flours and salt, and melt the butter in a separate dish.
Once melted, add the butter to the yeast/honey/water mixture.
Whisk together.
Add liquid to dry ingredients and knead down on a floured board.
You could also mix the ingredients with a Kitchen−Aid mixer (dough
hook attachment), then transfer to a floured board. When finished,
the dough should be very soft, but not too sticky. Let rise until
doubled.
Punch down, knead on a floured board, and divide into two loaves.
Shape into cylinders, or round balls, or whatever shape you prefer.
