Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Soy flour
• 0.25 cup Non-fat dry milk powder
• 0.25 cup Wheat germ
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, soy flour, non-fat dry milk powder, wheat germ, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Once the yeast is activated, add the vegetable oil and the egg to the yeast mixture. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Serve the Cornell Bread as part of a nutrient-packed meal, or enjoy it on its own for a healthy snack.
