Ingredients

cup Whole-wheat flour

2 tablespoons Active dry yeast

1 tablespoon Molasses, unsulphered

4 cups Water, warm

Preparation

Put flour in a large bowl. Place in a warm oven for 30 minutes to warm flour and bowl to 110 degrees (1 1/2 minutes in microwave). Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water (110 degrees). Add molasses and mix well. Let rest about 3 minutes. Then, add the yeast mixture and the remaining water (3 cups, warm). Mix well by stirring or use one hand to mix in bowl. Do no Knead. Dough will be sticky. Use non-stick pans or lightly oil two large loaf pan (9"x5"x3"). Sprinkle with cornmeal. Spoon dough mixture into pans. Smooth

HELPFUL HINTS: Recipe may be doubled to make four loaves. Refrigerate or freeze extra loaves until ready to use. Other flours may be used in place of 1.5 cups whole wheat, such as brown rice flour, garbanzo flour, or barley flour. Use of nonstick pans is recommended.
