whole wheat cinnamon bread

[Guest guest]

I got Peter Reinhart's book Whole Grain Breads for christmas and I really

recommend it. The whole wheat, the rye and the cinnamon raison breads have all

turned out amazing with light a fluffy with a fully developed nutty flavor and a

good crust.

 

Before I tried this method I had a hard time getting a good sandwich loaf that

held together well.

 

The recipe takes two days. Something about allowing the yeast to mellow the

flavor of the whole wheat. I've found it easier to handle because I get all the

ingredients together one night and then the next night is just letting it rise

and baking it.

 

I'll be the first to say that the recipe looks daunting but after you've gotten

through it once it's actually pretty easy. Anyway here is a link to the

cinnamon raison bread that I have in the oven right now. It also makes amazing

french toast.

Please note these aren't my links but they explained it much better than me.
