Heat 1 1/2 cups water, milk, honey, and margarine in small saucepan until very warm (120º – 130º F). Stir milk mixture into flour mixture with wooden spoon until blended. Slowly beat in remaining bread flour (1 3/4 cups) until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough. Generously dust work surface with flour. Turn out dough and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape into two 7 X 4 inch loaves. Put in pans. Cover with damp tea towel and let rise until doubled — about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450º F. Bake loaves 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350º F and bake until loaves are a golden brown, 20 – 25 minutes longer. Turn out loaves onto wire racks and cool completely. Makes 24 slices. |
