Ingredients

2 3/4 teaspoons yeast, active dry
1 teaspoon malt extract
11 ounces water (110 - 120 deg.f)
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup flour, all-purpose
2 tablespoons sugar or honey, molasses
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons gluten flour

Directions

Put yeast and malt into machine with several oz. of water. Use a thermometer for the water. Too hot will kill the yeast. The yeast will now proof (start to multiply)

In a separate bowl, measure out all dry ingredients and mix.

After a few minutes, yeast should be bubbling, add dry stuff and any liquids including the water.

Start the machine and see how it looks. If too dry, add until it looks right.

Should be one big mass not several.

Flour: substitute 1 cup of corn or rye + 1 heaping T of gluten for a cup of WW flour.

For sweet breads, add another few T of sugar and maybe some raisins.

3 T of carroway seeds or sesame seeds in a non sweet bread is great.

Can also add 2 mashed bananas, then cut the water.

Black Bean Chili

Very hearty and flavorful. The goat cheese complements the chili nicely. I took the advice of the previous reviewer and let it simmer for a couple hours after I mixed everything together. Also, I accidentally bought 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of crushed, but it was still good, and the red chunks made it pretty :-)
