BASIC 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In mixing bowl (you can do all of this in an electric mixer with a dough hook), and in this order, combine water, oil, honey, lecithin (opt), the initial 8 cups flour (covering all the wet ingredients), vital wheat gluten (opt), dough enhancer (opt), yeast, and salt.
• Mix until fully combined, and then let it sit for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, it should have risen a little, so mix the mixture again and then add in the additional 6 cups flour (more ro less) and mix until the dough is not sticky (tacky) and all the flour is mixed in well.
• Now, knead the dough for 10 minutes, and the dough, at this point, should look smooth.
• Divide the dough into 5-6 equal loaves.
• Put in well greased pans and then let dough rise until fully risen. The way I can tell is by lightly pushing in on the dough, and if the dough does NOT come back out, or comes out very slowly, then it is ready.
• Put bread into a COLD oven (not preheated), and turn on the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 35 minutes.
• When it comes out, you can put butter on the top of it. It is a GREAT bread!
• ***NOTE*** You can use this bread for pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, or dinner rolls as well. For the cinnamon rolls and pizza dough, you will place them in the oven which has been preheated. The dinner rolls can follow the other directions. The rolls, and cinnamon rolls take the full 35 minutes to cook, and the pizza cooks on 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes. The cinnamon rolls use up the amount of dough that would be used for 2 loaves of bread, and for the rolls it depends on the size that you make.
• *FOR PIZZA -- use amount of dough used for one loaf and roll out into a circle.
• Place on pizza sheet with corn meal on it.
• Place pizza sauce and toppings on pizza crust, WITHOUT cheese.
• Place into 500 degree oven for 7-9 minutes.
• Take out and spread cheese on pizza, and put it back into the oven for 3-6 minutes.
• Take out of oven and let cool before cutting.

SHELLY'S HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in mixer bowl with yeast on top. Knead on speed 1 (adding additional flour if needed) Mix until dough cleans side of bowl. Turn to speed 2 and mix a total of only 3-4 minutes.
• Grease hands and counter with crisco or pam spray. Take dough from machine and slam entire amount on counter 7 times. Shape into round ball. Cut dough into 6 equal pie pieces.
• For each loaf of bread take 1/6 of your dough and slam it again on your counter 7 more times(this gets out all the air bubbles). Shape the dough into a loaf size and place in greased pans. Let rise until doubled.
• Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cooling rack. Brush with crisco or butter if desired.

EASY 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a stand-mixer bowl until mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add half the whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixture. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until incorporated. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix with a dough hook attachment on low speed, slowly adding the remaining whole wheat flour, increasing the speed to high. Mix on high until the batter is combined and not sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Flour a surface to work the dough.
• Place the dough onto the floured work surface and shape into a loaf. Use more flour if necessary. Place into the prepared loaf pan.
• Let shaped dough sit in a warm place until it has risen over the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until top of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cool an additional hour before slicing; otherwise it will feel doughy.

100% HONEY WHOLE WHEAT/CRACKED WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of your electric mixer (I use a KitchenAid ) dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, honey, oil, salt and eggs. Mix until blended.
• Add 2 1/2 cups of the flour and beat for 3 to 4 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a warm towel and allow sponge to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
• Mix in remaining flour reserving 1/2 C for kneading. At this point you may add the softened cracked wheat if desired. This may seem a little stickier than you may be used to but as long as your fingers don't stick in the dough you have the right amount of flour.
• Turn out onto floured board or counter top or use the dough hook from your mixer. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until elastic and smooth.
• Put in a large buttered bowl and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk.
• Punch dough down. On lightly floured board or counter top divide into 3 equal portions. Shape into loaves and place in buttered loaf pans approximately 8" X 4".
• Cover and let rise for the third time until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes. The bread tests done when the crust make a hollow sound when tapped.
• Remove from pans and brush with melted butter. Cover with a hot damp towel to soften crust if desired.
