Rapid Rise Whole Wheat Bread Bread Machine Recipes

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.

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Follow directions for your bread machine.
• Instructions for my machine are: Add all ingredients to the baking pan in the order listed. (I mix the water and powdered milk and microwave them on high for 30 seconds before puting in the pan).
• Insert the baking pan into the oven chamber and secure pan.
• Select rapid bake setting and 2-pound loaf.
• Turn on machine.
• When cycle is complete, I put the loaf into a large zip lock bag, seal the bag, and put it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer's directions.
• Set crust on medium and program for the Whole Wheat cycle; press Start.
• When the baking cycle ends, immediately remove the bread from the pan and place it on a rack.
• Let cool to room temperature before slicing.

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.
