Prep Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
White Dough:3 cups warm water
13 cup honey
2 tablespoons yeast
13 cup melted butter
1 14 tablespoons salt
1cup dry powdered milk
7-8 cups all-purpose flour
Wheat Dough:
3 cups warm water
13 cup molasses
2 tablespoons yeast
13 cup Melted butter
1 14 tablespoons salt
1 cup powdered milk
7-8 cups whole-wheat flour
Instructions
To prepare white dough, pour warm water into mixing bowl. Add honey. Mix water and honey with a spoon, and sprinkle yeast over water and let activate. Add butter, salt, powdered milk and flour. Mix well or until dough cleans the side of the bowl. Knead 7 minutes. Shape dough into ball and transfer to a slightly oiled bowl. (Tip: You might want to put olive oil on your hands to keep it from sticking on your hands.) Cover and let rest while preparing whole-wheat dough.To prepare wheat dough, pour warm water into mixing bowl. Add molasses and mix water and molasses together with a mixing spoon. Sprinkle yeast over water. Allow yeast to activate. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix well. Knead 12 minutes.
Divide the white dough into four equal portions. Divide the wheat dough into four equal portions. On an oiled surface, role one portion of each into a 14 x 8-x ½ inch rectangle. Place whole-wheat dough on top of white dough and press together slightly. Cut the rectangle in half. Slice each half into one inch by eight inch sections and roll with your hands on the counter to make thin “snakes†or ropes approximately 12 inches long. Tie into a knot and tuck in the ends. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
