Basic Wheat Bread 3 1/2 cups warm
milk
2/3 cup sugar or honey
2/3 cup oil
4 teaspoons salt
3 pack dry yeast
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups bread flour
Mix all the non-flour items (make sure the milk is not too hot to the touch, or
it will kill the yeast). Mix in the whole wheat and bread flour. Then knead in
enough of the all purpose flour so that the dough does not stick appreciably to
your hands (this may take 10 minutes of kneading). Put the dough into a really
large bowl, rub some oil on the top of the dough so it doesn't dry out when
rising. Cover the bowl with and put in a warm place.
When approximately doubled in size, form portions of dough into loaves and put
in pans. Put pans with dough in them in a warm place. Let them rise until about
doubled. Bake at 375ºF for small loaves, 350ºF for large loaves on the bottom
rack in the oven until the tops are all brown. After taking the pans out of the
oven, let cool for about 5 minutes then take the bread out of the pans and lay
them on their sides on cooling racks. |
