Ingredients

  • 1 dry yeast package
  • 1/2 c water warm
  • 1/8 ts ground ginger
  • 2 tb honey
  • 13 oz evaporated milk can
  • 1 ts salt optional
  • 2 tb neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 4 whole wheat flour 4 1/2 cups

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dissolve yeast in the warm water in large mixing bowl. Blend in the ginger and 1 Tbsp of the honey. Let stand in a warm place until the mixture is bubbly (about 15 minutes). Stir in the remaining honey, and the milk, salt, and oil. With mixer on low speed (or with a wooden spoon) beat in the flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. If you are using amixer, beat in the last cup of flour with a wooden spoon. The dough should be heavy but too sticky to knead.
  2. Place dough in a 2-pound, WELL-GREASED coffee can. Cover with greased plastic lid. At this point, you may freeze the dough if you want to and bake it at a later time.
  3. To bake, let stand, covered in a warm place until the dough rises and pops off the lid. This will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard the lid and bake at 350 F for 1 hour. The crust will be very brown. Brush the top lightly with butter.
  4. Let the entire bread and can cool for 5 to 10 minutes on a wire rack, then loosen the crust around the edge of the can with a thin knife and slide the bread from the can. Cool it in an upright position on the wire rack.

Notes

  • VARIATION: Add to the yeast mixture 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tspnutmeg. With the final addition of flour, add 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2cup chopped walnuts.
