Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon Yeast, dry
  • 1 teaspoon Diastatic malt powder
  • 8 cup Flour, all purpose
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 2 cup Milk, skim
  • 1/4 cup Oil, vegetable
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 lg Egg whites, lightly beaten
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry yeast, diastatic malt powder, 6 cups of all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the skim milk, vegetable oil, and honey together until the mixture reaches 120ðF (49ðC). It should feel hot but not scalding to the touch.
  3. 3
    Pour the warm liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the lightly beaten egg whites.
  4. 4
    Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or dough hook, gradually adding 1 cup of the remaining flour until a shaggy, cohesive dough mass forms.
  5. 5
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes, adding small amounts of additional flour as needed, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
  6. 6
    Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled large bowl, turning it once to coat the top with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  7. 7
    Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  8. 8
    Punch the dough down gently to release air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for 30 seconds to degas.
  9. 9
    Grease two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans with vegetable oil or butter.
  10. 10
    Divide the dough into two equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick, matching the length of the loaf pans.
  11. 11
    Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up each rectangle into a log shape. Place each log seam-side down into the prepared pans.
  12. 12
    Cover the pans with a damp towel and let the loaves rise for 30-45 minutes, or until the dough rises about 1 inch above the top of the pans.
  13. 13
    Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  14. 14
    Bake the loaves for 35-40 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  15. 15
    Remove the loaves from the pans immediately and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
