size during the rising times, due to their reduced gluten, and then filling the pan three-
quarters to almost full during baking. If a loaf comes out too dense, add
1
/
2
teaspoon
more yeast and an extra 1 to 2 teaspoons gluten the next time you make it.
Set the crust control, if your machine has it, on medium or dark for
these breads. I especially like an extra-dark crust, as opposed to a medium, terra cotta-
colored crust on white breads. Some flours, like barley, never darken unless there are
plenty of other ingredients added.
Don’t let specialty flour breads rest inside the machine on Keep
Warm. It is important to remove them from the machine immediately once the beep
sounds and to let them cool on a rack, or they will dry out. If your loaf is especially
dense and looks like it is not quite done, don’t hesitate to program the machine for
more time on the Bake Only cycle, or to turn it out of the pan and bake it a bit longer in
your home oven.
Where can you find these specialty flours? Almost every supermarket
offers rye flour, oatmeal, and cornmeal. Whole foods super-markets, gourmet grocery
stores, and natural foods stores offer the largest selections of whole grain and non-
wheat flours. Or you can always order them from mail-order resources (see Whole
Grains and Specialty Flours).
