Instructions: MAKES 8 OR MORE SERVINGS. VEGAN

In addition to making a great loaf of bread, this dough can also be used for pizza crust, dinner rolls, veggie "dog" and "burger" buns and focaccia. It has fiber from whole wheat flour but no added fat.

Combine water and yeast it large bowl, whisking to dissolve yeast. Add sugar and salt; whisk to dissolve.

In separate bowl, whisk flours to mix. Add flours all at once to water and yeast. Stir with large, sturdy spoon until flour is incorporated and dough leaves side of bowl.

Turn out on lightly floured surface. Knead for 7 to 10 minutes. Place in large, lightly oiled bowl, turning dough so oiled side faces up. Cover with clean, damp tea towel, let rise in warm (85 degrees) place for 1 hour.

Punch down dough; knead to remove air pockets. Shape into loaf. Place in lightly oiled nonstick bread pan. Cover with damp tea towel, let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

Bake in 400-degree over until bread is golden on top and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 35 minutes. Remove from pan. Let cool on wire rack to room temperature before slicing.

Makes a 1 1/2-pound loaf of bread

(approximately 12 slices), eight 3-ounce burger rolls, eight 3-ounce not dog buns or twelve 2-ounce dinner rolls.

"Not"-DOG BUNS: Roll out dough after first rising into a 10- by 15-inch rectangle. Cut dough in half lengthwise. Cut each half in four 3-inch wide strips, making eight 3- by 5-inch strips. Place on lightly oiled baking sheet, not touching, covered to rise. When doubled, bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

BUNS: Roll out dough after first rising into 8- by 16-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 8 equal 4- by 4-inch squares (who says buns have to be round?) or shape by hand (if you must) into rounds. Place on lightly oiled baking sheet, not touching, covered, to rise. When doubled, bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

FOCACCIA: Divide dough in half after first rising. Roll each half out in imperfect rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Place each half on lightly oiled baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, salt, fresh chopped or dried herbs. Make indentations by pressing on dough with all five fingers of both hands. Let rise, covered, until doubled.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes.

DINNER ROLLS: Divide dough in 24 equal pieces after first rising. Roll each piece under palm of one hand, fingers cupped, into ball or oval. Place on lightly oiled baking sheet, not touching, covered, to rise until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.

VARIATION: Add 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs or 2 tablespoons mixed dried herbs to liquid for herb bread.
