Preparation

Step 1

1. Oil the inside of two 9 by 5 inch metal loaf pans.

2. In a large bowl, mix the yeast, liquid, flours, seeds (if using), and salt. Scrape the dough into the pans. Drape with a clean, damp dish towel and let rise for about 2 hours until level with the tops of the pans.

3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

4. Bake loaves for 30 minutes.

5. Remove the bread from the pans, return to the oven, and bake directly on the rack for 15 minutes more. The bread is done when it is richly colored and sounds hollow when tapped.
