Mix together:
1 ¼ C milk
Stir 2 tsp honey, syrup, or white or brown sugar into milk.
Then, warm the mixture before adding yeast.
Once the milk mixture is warmed, mix in 1 TB yeast, cover it and let it proof for 5+ minutes.
While yeast is proofing, combine in a mixing bowl:
2 C white flour.
1 C whole wheat flour.
(Or just 3 C white flour).
½ tsp salt.
2 tsp of your choice of spice - one tsp of two different spices works very well.
2 TB Baking powder.
½ C Parmesan Cheese and/or cooled bacon bits (if desired).
Pore in but don't mix:
¼ C oil into milk and yeast.
Combine:
Milk mixture into flour mixture.
Make sure all dry ingredients are moist.
Turn onto a floured board.
Knead about 40 times on a floured board.
Add small amounts of flour to prevent sticking to hands and board.
Flatten on a baking sheet
covered with parchment paper.
Coat quick bread with oil.
Cut into desired sizes with a table knife but only some way through the dough.
Let rise in a warm place for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 385 degrees.
Bake at 385 for 22+/- minutes, depending on your altitude.
It's altitude, not attitude! Ok, yes, you're right! It can be both.
Try not to overbake.
Enjoy warm!
