I Made it From Scratch- Bushman Bread

Do you remember that Make It From Scratch Contest I'm doing? Well tonight is the last night to enter. I made the Outback Steakhouse bread.

All I have to say is I'm thankful that this contest is just pulling a name out of a hat of who participated and not of how it turned out or how prepared I was. LOL!

So here is goes...(We are to post pictures)

Alrighty Mix 2t. granulated sugar into 1 1/4 cup warm water and then dissolve 1 package of yeast in it. Set aside while it does its thing.

Next Mix 2 cups bread flour, 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 T. cocoa....Oh shoot Cocoa? I don't have cocoa. Ummmm....Will one of these do? Well it's gonna have to. So in goes 1 T of Nesquick and a tsp. salt. Then mix in 2 T of softened butter.

Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add 1/4c honey and 2 T molasses.
Now add food coloring to the yeast solution. Oh my goodness...It wants me to put in 3 1/4 teaspoons of food coloring...Um that's an awful lot. Alright that is ridiculous...let's change it. Add some red, yellow and blue food coloring until it looks dark enough. This is disgusting...let's add some more red.

Alright now what? Read recipe...blah blah blah...Um where is page 2? PAGE 2???? I printed this recipe off the internet June 2004. I don't have page 2. So what do I do? I tried to look it up on the internet again. No luck. Searched my recipes. NO LUCK. AHHHHHHH! Alright don't panic...Let's look in another recipe book and see what it says for some other breads. OK then let's let it rise. So I let it rise while we went out for dinner. Came back...hmmm looks descent. Broke it into 6 loaves. I probably should have let it rise again at this point...but I didn't. Yes it does look gross. Still hoping it is better than it looks.

Ok into the the 375o for how about 35 minutes. Waiting....waiting...mmmm that smells good....waiting...mmmmm that smells REALLY good...

waiting...waiting...smells like it's burning... OH SHOOT! I guess that was too long.

Now for the guinea pig...

Smells good...little Crispy...but he likes things a little burnt.

Dang that's hot! I promise that is the look!

Alright thinking...

He gives it a thumbs up.

Alright my turn...

Not so bad! Will I make it again? Probably not. But the inside is pretty good.

So there you have it... my version of the Honey Wheat Bushman Bread.
