Whole Wheat Buttermilk Batter Bread.

This recipe has a blend of white flour and wheat flour. If you wanted to just use all wheat, though, you could (conversely, if you wanted to turn this into an all-white bread, you could just use all white flour).

INGREDIENTS

1 1 /4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup buttermilk (use other milk if you wish)
1 tablespoon or cake of dry, active yeast
2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soft shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

Dissolve yeast in water, add honey, half the white flour, salt and shortening.
Mix well. Blend in remaining flour with spoon. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Stir batter down and spread it evenly in a greased loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3 inches
Let rise in warm place until batter reaches 1 /2 in from the top of pan.
About 40 minutes. Bake at 375 for 40 – 40 minutes. Brush top with shortening. Makes 1 loaf.
