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!
