THis bread will not only nourish you, it will surprise you with its
unique and delightful flavor and texture. Definetly worth the extra
effort of finding the 9-grain mix ingredients. The mix will keep well
in the refrigerator - we're sure you'll want to make this bread again
(try a handful in pancakes!).
Mix the water, molasses, malt and yeast. Add the 9 grain mix, flour,
salt and oil (you can also make a sponge and wait, but it's not
necessary). Mix, and knead dough well. Let rise, shape into loaves
and let rise again in oiled bread pans. Bake at 350 F for 45 min.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, there were a couple of interesting books dating from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the rich people of those days. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
