OUR DAILY BREAD

1 loaf in 2 hours

3 cups bread flour, divided
1 tablespoon 50% active dry yeast
1 1/2 cup hot tap water (120F)
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
pinch ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons Canola or vegetable oil

In a glass bowl combine 1 cup of the bread flour and yeast
with the water, molasses and honey, forming a sponge.

Place an 8-oz glass of water in the middle of the
microwave and set the bowl beside it. Heat for 3 minutes
at with the power set to 10%. Rest 3 minutes or until
spongy and light.

In a food processor or mixer fitted with the dough blade,
combine the remaining bread flour with the rolled oats,
cornmeal, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and salt, then
pulse to mix. Add the oil and the sponge. Mix thoroughly.
When the dough leaves the side of the bowl and forms a
ball, knead for a minute, adding additional water as
necessary if the dough seems to stiff.

Remove the dough from the bowl, punch down and knead by
hand a few seconds, adding flour as necessary if the dough
seems to sticky. Form the dough into a ball. With your
thumbs, punch a hole to form a doughnut shape and replace
in bowl. Cover loosely with a damp tea towel or plastic
wrap. Place the bowl in the microwave. Place the glass of
water in the center and the bowl off-center. Heat for 3
minutes at with the power set to 10%. Rest 3 minutes. Heat
3 minutes at 10%. Rest for 6 minutes or until doubled in
bulk. Alternatively, place in a warm draft-free place and
let rise about an hour.

Remove the dough from the bowl, punch down and knead by
hand briefly. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Grease a
glass loaf pan. Shape the dough into a loaf and place in
the prepared pan. Cover the pan loosely with damp towels.

Replace the pan in the microwave. Place the glass of water
in the center and the pans off-center. Heat for 3 minutes
at with the power set to 10%. Rest 3 minutes. Heat 3
minutes at 10%. Rest for 6 minutes or until doubled in
bulk. Alternatively, place in a warm draft-free place and
let rise about an hour.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375oF. Spritz the top of
the loaf with plain water. Bake on the middle rack for
about 40 to 50 minutes or until golden. Cool.
