12 grain from start to finish
1 bottle (2 cups) water at room temperature
1/3 cup soft salted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 rounded teaspoon fine sea salt
¾ cup 12 grain cereal
5 – 6 cups white bakers flour.
1 inch cube fresh yeast or 2 teaspoons direct yeast, meaning like Fermipan, Red Star or similar
Put all the water into large bowl of mixer add sugar and 3 cups flour
Mix well add another 2 cups flour and crumple the yeast into mixture, (or add the dry yeast) Mix/knead all well together add 12 grain continue to mix add butter, add salt
this should be after a few minutes of kneading in machine to give you a nice workable dough, or add a little more flour in required.
Turn out onto a floured counter and hand knead a few minutes to gather all to a nice manageable ball, place into large oil bowl cover and leave to rise, there is no set time.
When risen divide into what ever size you want, place each on oiled cookie sheet or
onto stone, I did 2 at 22 ounces and 1 at 8 ounces.
Leave to rise again, paint over top and sprinkle with 12 grain , slash as prefer.
Bake at 410 for 50 minutes…
