Outback Steakhouse Bread Recipe

This is for Tim Stouffer.   Love ya Tim!

Ingredients

2 packages dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup dark molasses
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups rye flour
2 1/2 -3 cups bread flour
Shortening for greasing the pan
1/2 cup cornmeal

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
Stir in the sugar and let stand 6 minutes or until it’s bubbly.
In large mixing bowl combine the yeast/water combo above along with 1 cup warm water with molasses, salt, oil and rye flour.
Mix this until it makes a nice smooth batter.
Work in the bread flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. It should be very pliable and elastic.
Knead the dough for a few minutes and then let it rise in a greased bowl until it’s doubled.
Punch the dough down and shape into 2 large round loaves
Placed the loaves a few inches apart on a greased and cornmeal dusted cookie sheet. Sprinkle a bit of the cornmeal over the top of the loaves as well.
Let loaves rise in a warm place until doubled.
Bake loaves at 375 for about 30 minutes or until the crust makes hollow sound when tapped.
This bread is supposed to freeze very well.

I found the recipe here.  They say it can be made in a bread machine too.

Family Reunion Update

I'm trying to send out invitations for the family reunion, but my computer crashed about a month ago and I lost all the most recent updates to my family address list.  I'm sending the invites to the addresses I have, even though I know some of them are wrong.  If you don't get an invite, it goes to your parents, or goes to an old address, it would be very helpful if you would e-mail me your new address:  

Send it to  kalynskitchen *at* comcast *dot* net.
Thanks!
(Reunion is August 20, 1:00 to 4:00.)

Newest Addition

We welcomed the newest member of our family early this morning.  Henry David McClelland joined us at 12:21 a.m. and weighed in at 8 lbs. 11 oz and was 20 inches long.  He has lots of reddish brown hair and is a complete sweetheart.  We are totally enamored!

Mama and baby are doing well.
