Instructions: Place ingredients in bread machine in order recommended by the manufacturer. I use my machine to make dough and bake it in the oven because you get a much better crust. To get a shiny crust, I make a wash of malt syrup (honey would work just as well) and water to brush on just before baking. A dough enhancer with diastatic malt powder and vital wheat gluten can be substituted for them. I think that the Lora Brody dough enhancer has both of them in it.

This recipe yields a 2 pound loaf.

Comments: I bought a loaf of Chart House Squaw Bread at Costco, took the list of ingredients and after many loaves have come up with this recipe. I bake my bread with sourdough instead of yeast but have converted the recipe into one with yeast. I have halved the sugar measurements because sourdough bread uses roughly twice the sugar to counteract the sourness but you may have to play a little with the brown sugar if it is too sweet or not sweet enough.

Yield: 1 loaf
