afé Latte in St. Paul, Minnesota, makes Dakota Bread every day from fresh milled flour. It was named for the baker’s home state of South Dakota. This bread has become one of the most beloved among home bakers, appearing in numerous publications with varying amounts of seeds and grains, yet still making an incredibly light bread with an intoxicating aroma. Please note that bulgur (also known as bulgur cracked wheat), which has been partially precooked so as to cook quickly, is entirely different from plain cracked wheat. Bulgur can be used unsoaked in a recipe. Here is my version of Dakota Bread for the bread machine.

T
he name of this bread refers to Paul Hurst, a world-renowned concert harpist and pianist who has composed and recorded a tone poem called the Sequoia Symphony with the Moscow State Radio and Television Orchestra. He is also a great bread lover. This is his favorite recipe, which came from his harp teacher and mentor, the late DeWayne Fulton. Technically an egg bread, this loaf is fluffy and tender. Use a roasted brand of peanut oil (like Livora) for the best flavor. This bread is baked into two large loaves in the oven. I like to use my Alfred clay ceramic bread pans to bake them (see
