Procedure

  1. Combine the boiling water and the bulgur and let stand for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix together lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Let bubble. In a separate bowl, mix together molasses, margarine, and oil. When the bulgur mixture is lukewarm, combine all ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, mix well the flour and salt. Combine both bowls and mix thoroughly. Add the rest of the flour and knead 8-10 minutes.
  3. Wash, grease bowl, add dough, cover with plastic wrap and a damp warm cloth and put in a warm place to double in bulk. When doubled, knead a little and form 3 rounds. Cut slashes in tops ½ inch deep. Let rise again. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes and then turn the temperature down to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 min. or more.

Conversion Notes

  1. Weight conversions from USDA National Nutrient Database. Original recipe text and ingredient order preserved. Density adjustment made to water, lukewarm defined as 40 °C. Margarine presumed as 80% fat. All purpose flour.
  2. This amount of yeast may have a slight yeast flavor. It is recommend to use no more than 0.775% instant dry yeast expressed as a baker's %, alternatively, 2.5% cake yeast (compressed) or 1.05% active dry yeast. Further reductions will result in less yeast flavor and longer bulk fermentation times.
