Basic Bread

1 c. warm water 1 tbsp. tahini
1 1/2 tsp. yeast 1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. honey or molasses 2–3 c. whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. gluten flour (opt.)* (preferably freshly milled)

MIX water, yeast and sweetener. ALLOW to bubble if you need to test yeast. If you know
the yeast if good, skip this step. ADD remaining ingredients, adding enough flour to
knead without being too sticky. KNEAD for about 10 minutes, until dough “comes
back” when you poke it. SHAPE into loaf or desired shape. ALLOW to rise in warm
place until double in size. BAKE at 350° for about 35 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Wait at least one day to serve.
*Adding gluten flour will make lighter bread.
