Auto Bakery Whole Wheat Bread

2 teaspoons of Saf Yeast
2 tablespoons of Dough Enhancer
3 cups whole-wheat flour
1� tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon oil
1�- 1� cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt

If dough is too stiff, add extra water.


Basque Omelet Picnic Loaf

1 large round sourdough French bread (10-12� in diameter)
4 tablespoons olive oil
10 oz. chorizo sausage
1 large potato, cooked
1 med. sized onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
1 med. sized green pepper, chipped
9 eggs
� teaspoon salt
� teaspoon pepper

With serrated knife, split bread in half. Partially hollow center of halves, leaving 1� border. Brush cut surfaces with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Reassemble loaf, wrap in foil and keep warm in 300� oven.

In 10� omelet or frying pan crumble chorizo, discarding casing, and saut� until lightly browned. Remove sausage and drain drippings. Peel and thinly slice potato. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in pan over medium heat; add potato, onion and garlic; cook, turning often, until nicely browned. Add green pepper and cook 1 minute longer; stir in sausage and set off heat.

With a fork, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Return the omelet pan to medium heat, and push potato mixture to one side and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over pan bottom. Redistribute vegetables in pan and pour in eggs. As the edges begin to set, push toward the center and shake pan vigorously to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook omelet until top is just set, but appears moist, and the bottom is lightly browned (about 5 minutes). To turn omelet, run a wide spatula around edge and under it to loosen. Invert a plate over omelet and quickly invert the pan, turning omelet onto plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan, return to medium heat, and gently slide omelet into pan. Cook until lightly browned on second side (about 2 minutes), set off heat.

Remove bread from oven and open out. Invert bottom half of loaf over top of omelet, then quickly invert pan, turning omelet out onto loaf. Replace top of bread and wrap in several thicknesses of foil to keep warm up to 4 hours.

(Loaf can be refrigerated and reheat in 400� oven for 25-30 minutes.) Makes about 6 servings.
