Mrs Phs Hefty Rapid Rise Whole Wheat Bread Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Put the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed (and as accurately as possible).
• Select the whole wheat bread cycle (usually takes 3 1/2 hours).
• Remove from the pan when it's done and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
• During the summer I reduce the yeast to 1 tsp because it seems to rise so much more during the summer than the winter. Or you could increase the salt slightly (salt kills the yeast so it doesn't rise out of the machine!) So if you're getting a really huge loaf (and some of you have) try one of these 2 things and it should be better for you. For some reason atmospheric pressure (which varies according to seasons) makes a difference in how a bread rises. Enjoy!
• Thanks for all your great reviews! Another thing I've been doing to make this even healthier is adding 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed with the flour. It doesn't really change the flavour but adds some good for you omega 3s!

Steps:

• Follow directions for your machine for a 2-pound loaf of whole wheat bread.
• Instructions for my machine are: Add all ingredients in the order listed. (I combine the water and powdered milk and heat them in microwave on high for 30 seconds before putting in baking pan and then add the remaining ingredients.).
• Insert the baking pan into the oven chamber and lock the pan.
• Select Whole Wheat setting and 2 pound loaf.
• Press start.
• When the baking is finished, I like to put the loaf in a large zip lock bag and seal it. Then place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

Steps:

• Simply add ingredients in order shown and start on the rapid setting. (My note: this is order for my B&D bread machine. I used the light crust setting.).
• Note from the original cook: I've had much better luck with the rapid setting than the whole wheat setting.
• Note from the original cook: Because whole wheat flour is heavy I use 2 pkg of yeast. If you only have one pkg, make this with the whole wheat setting or the setting that allows the most rise time.

Steps:

• Simply put add ingredients in order shown and start on the rapid setting, light crust.

Steps:

• Add ingredients in order listed to your bread machine. If your bread machine specifies dry ingredients should be added first, reverse the order in which ingredients are added. Use the basic (not the whole wheat) cycle on your bread machine.
• Try subbing 1/2c rye flour and adding 1tsp of caraway seeds for a delicious seeded rye!

Steps:

• Add ingredients in the order listed to bread mixing bowl.
• Using a dough hook, mix well and add more flour if needed so that the dough cleans the sides of the bowl (dough should be slightly tacky.
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Shape into 2 to 3 loaves depending on the size of your pans. Add dough to sprayed pans.
• Cover with tented plastic or cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 for the last half hour of rising. It is ready to go in the oven when the dough is doubled in bulk.
• Turn oven down to 350 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Take out of pans and let cool on wire rack.
• Brush tops with melted butter to keep crusts soft.
• additional ingredients may be added:.
• Eggs:.
• decrease water by 1/4 cup and add two beaten eggs. Eggs add flavor, liquid, color, structure, nutrients and tenderness to breads.
• Cracked wheat:.
• Add 1/2 cup uncooked cracked wheat for each 4 cups of flour. If using uncooked cracked wheat the bread will be somewhat crunchy. cooking the cracked wheat first will add a variety of texture without the crunch feel. Many people like to put oatlems or other cooked cereals into their bread. As a guidelin, use 1/2 cup or less per 4 cups of flour.
• Potatoes:.
• They add a sweet, rich flavor to breads. Add 1/2 cup to 4 cups flour and reduce water by 1/4 cup.
