Simple Wheat Bread
NOTE: this recipe makes 3 loaves-- reduce as needed
INGREDIENTS
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup honey
5 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon salt
+/- 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
(My changes: I used 2.5 c bread flour and the rest whole wheat. I also added 1/2 c ground flax, 1/2 cup wheat bulgur, and about 1/4 cup soaked farro, or semi-pearled barley. I also used 1/2 molasses and 1/2 honey.)
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey. Add 5 cups white bread flour, and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly. (This took about 30 minutes.)
2. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour.
3. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled. (Today I used the Kitchen Aid with the dough hook, divided the stirred dough in half and kneaded each half on #2 for about 10 minutes, adding 1/2 cup whole wheat flour at a time. It took 2 more cups of flour for the first portion of dough, and the second portion took 1.5 more. The rise took about 1 hour.)
4. Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch. (I set a timer for 30 minutes, with the loaves in a barely warm oven. Just about right.)
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely. (Other readers recommended turning out on a wire rack to cool to avoid steaming.)
They are in the oven now. I'll let you know how they turn out. The camera is at the ready. If they are pretty, which they seem to be, I'll put a picture up later today. (Real-time blogging!)
