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.
