2 cups whole wheat bread flour
1/3 cup wheat germ
1-1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. instant yeast (or one 1/4-ounce packet)
1 Tbsp. vital wheat gluten (if you've got it)

mix these dry ingredients together.

heat to 120F:
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 cup honey

alternately, use 1 cup warm water and add 1/3 cup powdered milk to the dry ingredients.

of the pain poolish was excellent too. It wasn't as pretty, but it still tasted great.

Let's see if I can figure this out. Old dogs and new tricks don't always work.



here's the recipe I sorta followed.

the night before
1/2 cup starter
1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup water

in the morning
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

just before starting
1/4 tsp. baking soda

This weekend I made bagels, pain au raisin, cream cheese snails, and pain poolish.



Bagels and snails were pretty easy. I'll post the snails recipe soon. The bagel recipe is here.
