INSTRUCTIONS

Seenote: Teff; grain uncooked In a large bowl, stir together water and
Brown Sugar or Honey. Sprinkle with Yeast and stir until it has
dissolved. Stir in Oat Bran and Teff seed. Let the mixture stand for
15 minutes to let the Oat Bran absorb liquid. Do all in a KitchenAid
mixer if available. Add oil and eggs.Mix very well. Stir in Salt. One
cup at a time, mix in flour until the dough becomes too difficult to
stir. Turn out on to a "well floured" work surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, adding flour only as necessary to keep from
sticking, about 8 minutes. It takes 4 or 5 minutes on the KitchenAid.
This recipe usually takes 6 full cups of flour. This is the place
where I freeze 1/2 of this bread....To Freeze: place the 1/2 recipe  of
this dough into an oiled labeled gallon plastic freezer bag.  Squeeze
all of the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Freeze at  once. To
use; defrost several hours until dough rises to double its  frozen
bulk, then proceed... For the half recipe of dough that you  are going
to proceed with, continue. Place the dough in a large well  oiled bowl.
I spray the used KitchenAid Bowl with non-stick and throw  the dough
back in, spray the top of the dough as well. Cover with  plastic wrap,
or a moist towel. Let the dough rise in a warm draft  free place. Check
the rise at 45 minutes, the "perfect place" rises  this bread in 45
minutes. Punch dough down. If you are doing this  entire recipe, divide
the dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf.  This also makes a nice
round loaf with a crunchy crust..... Pan Loaf  making: beginning at one
narrow end, tightly roll up the dough to  form a loaf. Pinch seam edge
into dough to seal. Lightly oil a loaf  pan. Meanwhile, place oven rack
in the lower third of the oven;  preheat to 375 degrees F. Place each
loaf in a prepared 8 1/2" X 4  1/2" X 2 1/2" loaf pan, seam side down.
Cover, let it rise in a warm  place free from drafts, until doubled in
bulk, about 45 minutes .  Check the rise at 35 minutes, the "perfect
place" rises this bread in  the pan, in 35 minutes. This is the place
where I make decorative  slits into the top of the loaf. In a small
bowl, whisk egg white with  one tb of water. Brush a little of the egg
white mixture over the top  of the loaf and sprinkle with 2 tb Oat
Bran, or sesame seeds just  before placing in the oven. Bake for 35
minutes on a baking stone or  40 minutes in the bread pan. To make the
crust even crustier, spray  the top of the loaf with water, and
liberally spray the inside of the  over at 5 minute intervals and/or
place a water filled pie pan in the  oven on a lower rack than the
bread. (boiling water added to the pie  pan just before baking makes
sure you have steam....) Makes one or  two loaves, each about 18 1/2
inch slices.
