Subj : St. Gregory 02 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Mon Mar 08 2021 10:03:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: St. Gregory's Abbey Altar Bread Categories: Breads Yield: 1 Servings 1 pk Dry yeast 7/8 c Warm water 1 1/2 tb Olive oil 3 tb Honey 1/2 ts Salt 1 c Bread flour 1 2/3 c Whole wheat flour; NOT - coarse or stone ground Measure yeast into a mixing bowl (or food processor) and add water, stirring until yeast dissolves. Add oil, honey and salt. Add flour (unsifted) and blend. Turn dough onto a very lightly floured board and knead thoroughly for five minutes or process 90 seconds in food processor. (This kneading is very important.) When dough is elastic, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour and a half or until double in bulk. Then, turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for a moment smoothing the loaf on top. Press into a flat 7" or 8" circle and cut an even cross into the top of the loaf. Make your cut about 1/4" deep. (This is practical as well as symbolic - it helps the priest break the bread evenly.) Bake the bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes @ 350ºF/175ºC. The loaf should be light brown. Test for doneness by tapping loaf on the bottom -- if it sounds hollow, it is done. Turn off the heat and leave the bread in the oven another 5 minutes; then remove and place on a rack to cool. Place a cup towel loosely over the top of the bread to keep the crust soft. NOTE: When baking this recipe for non-liturgical purposes; it makes great toast!
