Whole Wheat Honey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, molasses, honey and salt and mix well.
• Add yeast mixture and then gradually add flours.
• Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth.
• Place in buttered bowl and let rise until double.
• Punch down and let rest for a few minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 parts and shape into loaves.
• Place in greased pans and let rise for about an hour.
• Bake at 375* for 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
• Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
• Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey, and stir well. Mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Work all-purpose flour in gradually. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. When dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well oiled bowl. Turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Punch down the dough. Shape into two loaves, and place into two well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough is 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pans.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add honey, butter, salt, 2 1/2 cups very warm water and 3 cups of the whole wheat flour. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour.
• With spoon, stir in 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups of the all-purpose flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.
• On lightly floured surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup all-purpose flour; continue kneading 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray; place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Generously grease 2 (8x4- or 9x5-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate; divide in half. Shape dough into loaves; place in pans. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dough; bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Whole Wheat setting, and then press Start.

Steps:

• Add ingredients according to the manufacturer's directions to your bread machine. Use the wheat bread cycle and light color setting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine all ingredients, knead for about seven minutes or until dough is no longer wet but smooth. Let bread rise until doubled in size, punch down and shape into loaves. Let bread double in size again. Bake until crusty and brown on top.

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:

• Add the ingredients in the order listed and sprinkle the ground flax over top. I use the whole wheat, 2 lb, and light crust settings and make the bread overnight so it's fresh first thing in the morning. I have also added a 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds sprinkled over top of the flaxseed.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Combine butter, molasses, honey and salt and mix well.
• Add yeast mix and gradually add the flours.
• Knead until smooth.
• Place in an oiled bowl and let rise until double (about 2 hours).
• Punch down and let the dough rest for about 5 minutes.
• Divide the dough in half and shape into loaves.
• Place the loaves in greased pans and let rise for about 1 hour.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the warm water, honey, and yeast in a large liquid measuring cup, stirring until the yeast dissolves. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk 1 pound 5 ounces (about 4 cups) bread flour with the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knead in the remaining 3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) bread flour a little at a time until dough is smooth and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl; cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F, with the rack in the center. Brush two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with oil. Punch down the dough with your fist, then turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough in half. Flatten one half into an oval approximately the length of the pan, and roll up lengthwise, gently pressing as you go to form a tight log. Place the log, seam side down, into a prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover loaf pans with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Using a lame or a razor blade, slash the loaves down the center in one quick, even motion. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with the heavy cream, and brush over the tops of the loaves.
• Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until bread is deep golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. (If the tops are browning too quickly during the last 30 minutes of baking, tent with aluminum foil.) Transfer pans to a wire rack, and let cool 5 minutes. Turn out the loaves onto the rack to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Put water in mixer and add 4 c of flour.
• Mix for a few seconds and then add yeast, honey, oil, dough enhancer, and salt. Pulse a few times.
• Then while mixing add just enough flour till dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Dough should be slightly sticky to the touch.
• Mix 10-12 minutes giving the gluten time to develop.
• Place in greased bowl cover and let rise 45 minutes.
• Punch down and shape into loves.
• Place in greased loaf pans, and let rise 20-30 minutes.
• Bake 30-35 minutes at 350°.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in bread pan in the order recommended for your machine. Select the dough/pasta cycle and press start.
• When dough is finished, turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead out all bubbles, adding more flour to board as necessary.
• Shape into loaf about 1 foot in length and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Let rise for 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• When loaf in risen, bake in pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.
