Moist Light Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
• In the mixer bowl (I mix mine in a Bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
• Add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
• Beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (About 3 minutes.)
• Place the dough hook on the mixer.
• Gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. Continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
• Place in PAM-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with PAM and allow to rise for about one hour.
• Preheat your oven to 350* and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• ** If you don't use all white-wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **You can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. I prefer using all white wheat flour or 1/2 white wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a breadmaker, or use a stand mixer until a soft and springy dough forms.
• Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
• Shape and place in greased loaf pan.
• Cover and let rise another hour.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 38 minutes. Makes one 1.5 lb loaf.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in the breadmaker using the order required by the particular breadmaker.
• Use "Whole Wheat" setting.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt and yeast. In a saucepan, heat water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes., Divide dough in half; shape into loaves. Place in two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. , Remove from the refrigerator; let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes. , Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Grease two dark metal 8 x 4-inch loaf/bread pans.
• Fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with kneader blade.
• Place both flours into the stainless steel mixing bowl set aside.
• Place 1/2 cup milk, 3 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons salt and 2-1/2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan; heat on top of the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spoon until the sugar and salt is dissolved and the butter has melted (do not boil the milk and the butter does not have to be completely melted) remove and let cool until lukewarm (I place the saucepan in the fridge to speed up the cooling process).
• When the milk has cooled to luke-warm pour into the mixing bowl with the flour; cover with a towel to keep the milk warm.
• In a small cup or bowl mix the 2 teaspoons sugar with the warm water until dissolved.
• Add in 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast and stir briefly.
• Cover with a tea towel and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• After the yeast if proofed add into the bowl with the flour and the milk mixture. Start kneading adding in more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough.
• Remove the dough to a lightly-floured surface and let rest covered with a clean tea towel for 5 minutes.
• Gather up the dough and knead gently for about 15 seconds (the dough will come together nicely).
• Generously oil a large glass or stainless steel bowl.
• Place the dough in the bowl; turn to coat the dough with oil.
• Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled (it might take more or less time depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
• Punch down the dough then slice into two equal pieces.
• Place the dough onto a very lightly floured surface cover one pie with a clean tea towel.
• Using your hands flatten/pat out one piece the dough to about 12x8-inches (does not have to be the exact size).
• Roll up tightly then tuck the sides under to fit a 8x4-inch greased loaf pan.
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Cover with a clean tea towel in a warm place for about 30-35 minutes (depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
• Set oven to 375°F.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden dark brown.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the order given in bread machine bucket.
• Process on basic/white cycle, medium color crust setting.
• I use warm (tepid) water and the rapid (3 hr) setting.
• You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, but I've found that 2 teaspoons produces a fluffier loaf.
