Nutty Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, walnuts, brown sugar, yeast and salt. , In a saucepan, heat the water, yogurt and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes (do not let rise)., Shape dough into a ball; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 20 minutes. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• The recipe directions are written for instant yeast; to use active dry yeast, dissolve it in the water first. Also, be aware that your rising times will be longer.
• Mixing In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir till the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured or lightly greased surface, and knead it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to become smooth and supple. (You may also knead this dough in an electric mixer or food processor, or in a bread machine set to the dough or manual cycle). Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen.
• Shaping Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and shape it into an 8-inch log. Place the log in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, cover the pan loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the bread to rise for about 90 minutes, until it's domed about 1 inch above the edge of the pan. A finger pressed into the dough should leave a mark that rebounds slowly.
• Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, until it's light golden brown. Test it for doneness by removing it from the pan and thumping it on the bottom (it should sound hollow), or measuring its interior temperature with an instant-read thermometer (it should register 190°F at the center of the loaf.) Remove the bread from the oven, and cool it on a wire rack before slicing. Store bread in a plastic bag at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup white flour and wheat flour, walnuts, sugar, yeast and salt. Heat water, yogurt, and butter to 120 degrees; add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in more flour to form a soft dough. Turn on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic-4 minutes. Shape into ball, cover for 20 minutes. Bake 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, and bananas, beating until well combined. The mixture will be fairly smooth, with some scattered small chunks of banana.
• Beat in the honey, oil and eggs.
• Add the flour & cinnamon, then the walnuts, stirring until smooth.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Bake the bread for 50 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes; then remove it from the pan, and set it on a rack to cool completely.
• Yield: 1 loaf, 16 to 18 servings.
• For best flavor, wrap and allow to rest overnight before slicing.

Steps:

• Mix all in your bread machine, in order to your machines instructions.
• Press start, for a basic light crusted bread.
• Watch as machine is kneading making any adjustments as needed.
• Flour is tempermental, so it could use a little more water, or a little more flour.
• Should be a ROUND soft sticky ball of dough.
• Remove after baked to cool.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place the first eight 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)., Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add the pecans and walnuts.
