Jim Vorheis
5 c Whole wheat flour
2 1/2 c White flour
1/3 c Sugar
2 ts Sugar
2 ts Soda
2 Eggs
2 1/4 c Buttermilk
1 c Softened butter or margarine
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sugar, soda and
salt. In a separate bowl beat eggs until frothy and add buttermilk.
Combine milk mixture and softened butter with the flour mixture and beat
with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add white flour gradually and turn
dough out onto a floured board. Knead thoroughly. Divide dough in half and
shape into 2 round balls. Flatten the tops slightly and, with a knife, cut
an “X” about 1/2 inch deep. Put loaves on a greased cookie sheet or into 2
9×5-inch loaf pans. (For loaf pans, cut slash down center lengthwise.) Bake
at 400 F for 50 minutes. Cool before cutting into thin slices.
