Looking for a bread recipe

[carbonel]

I've been making no-knead bread occasionally for the past year or so, but I'd like to branch out a bit.

I tried making kneaded bread (a cob loaf) for the first time in years, and it turned out more or less the way it should, but it wasn't my kind of bread -- too soft and too dense a crumb (that may have been a proofing error on my part). I prefer bread that has some holes but not huge ones, and that has a bit of chewiness to it.

I'd like something that calls for kneading, since I'd like an alternative to an overnight rise, and doesn't require a sourdough starter. Any recommendations for a non-sourdough kneaded loaf that uses wheat flour? I currently have bread flour, AP flour (lots of this), and WW flour, but no flour from other grains.

Buttermilk Bread (aka, This Week's Much More Reasonable Loaves)

[notyourwendy]

5 - 5.5 c. bread or AP flour
3 T. sugar
2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
1 pkg dry yeast
1 c. water
1 c. buttermilk (or 4 T. buttermilk powder + 1 c. water)
1/3 c. shortening

Combine 2 c. flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and yeast (and buttermilk powder if using it).
Warm water and shortening (and liquid buttermilk if using it). Shortening does not have to fully melt. Add to flour mixture and mix well.
Work in remaining flour and knead. Rise 1 hour.
Divide into loaf pans and rise about 45 minutes.
Bake 40 minutes at 375.
