Jim Campbell's SAVINA BREAD
Recipe By Jim Campbell

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups white flour
• 1/2 cup V8 or similar veggie juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbls evaporated dried milk
• 1 1/2 tbls brown sugar
• 1 tbl honey or sorgham
• 1 1/2 tsp fast rise auto bread yeast (2 tsp normal yeast)
• 2 tbls butter
• 2 ounces ground dried Red Savina (tm) Habanero - (or more/less)

Note: all wheat flour may be used, but not all white - the Savina (tm) seems to go good with wheat breads while white has too little flavor for it.

Heat liquid ingredients to about 100 F. Pour into bread machine cannister. Put in dry ingredients, yeast last. Set machine to desired finish. Done.

I'll leave it to individuals to try and figure out how to adapt this to their own
