GOLDEN WHEAT HAWAIIAN BREAD MACHINE BREAD

Steps:

• Make sure all liquid ingredients are room temperature, including the egg.
• Place ingredients in ABM as per manufacturers recommendations,.
• Select the Dough Cycle.
• Keep an eye on the dough half way into the first knead and adjust by adding either more flour or milk, 1 Tablespoon at a time as needed. (I usually have to add up to 2 Tablespoons of flour).
• When cycle is complete, press dough into a well greased 9" pie pan.
• Turn the dough over, greased side up and lightly press again to fill the circumference of the pan.
• Cover with a dry lint-free cloth.
• Let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft-free area. ( I put it in my convection oven on slow cook, 100 degrees and cover with a damp cloth).
• Preheat regular oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake the dough 25 to 30 minutes.
• (If baking in a convection oven reduce the temperature to 325 and bake the dough 30 to 35 minutes).
• Immediately turn out upside down onto a rack.
• Let cool completely before slicing.
• NOTE : When I measure my flour I do not spoon it into the measuring cup. I dip it out of the bag with the measuring cup and then level it off with a table knife. If you opt to use a spoon to fill the cup, the flour-liquid ratio may vary from what is listed in this recipe.

GOLDEN SUNFLOWER SEED WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add warm water and yeast. Cover and let activate for 10 minutes.
• Add bread flour, canola oil, Agave, salt and 4 cups of whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly.
• Mix in sunflower seeds. Slowly add whole wheat flour one cup at a time until you reach a firm dough.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a lightly warmed oven for 1 hour or until doubled in size (hint: Before I place the bread in the oven, I turn the oven on to 350F degrees and warm it for only a few seconds--20-seconds. You don't want the oven hot).
• Punch down the dough and divide into either two greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans, or three greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. I like to put parchment on the very bottom of my pans for ease of turning out the loaves. Cover the loaves and let rise in a warm place for an additional 30 mins or until doubled in size.
• Bake at 350F degrees for 35 minutes, then brush on melted butter and continue to bake for 5 minutes more or until lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and brush on remaining melted butter. Turn out from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting and serving.

GOLDEN WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In small bowl combine yeast with 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees) and stir to dissolve. In a medium bowl combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, bran and salt. Add yeast mixture and 2 cups cool water (75 to 78 degrees) to dry ingredients; mix by hand to make a granular mass. Knead about 2 minutes; dough should be very loose and sticky. If necessary add 1 to 2 tablespoons cool water.
• Oil a large mixing bowl and a sheet of plastic wrap; set aside. Transfer dough to a very lightly floured work surface and knead until somewhat cohesive, 3 to 4 minutes, using as little flour as possible and using a scraper to lift and turn dough. Return dough to bowl and place oiled plastic wrap over surface. Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Return dough to work surface and knead again 6 to 7 minutes; dough should be soft and loose. Return to oiled bowl and cover again with oiled plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for one hour.
• Knead dough while still in bowl, gently deflating it with your fingertips. Fold in thirds like a letter, then bring ends in and turn over so seam is underneath. Let rise again for one hour.
• Repeat folding and turning process, and let rise again until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When dough is fully risen, an indentation made by poking your finger deep into the dough will not spring back.
• Sprinkle a large baking peel generously with cornmeal, or line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Divide dough into two equal pieces, shaping each into a tight boule (slightly flattened ball). Place loaves on peel or pan, leaving about 4 inches between them to allow for rising. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise again until nearly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. If loaves begin to grow together, put in oven before they touch.
• Thirty minutes before baking, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place small cast-iron skillet on floor of a gas oven or lowest rack of an electric oven. Place oven rack two rungs above pan. If using a baking stone, place it on the rack. Fill a plastic spray bottle with water.
• Score a tic-tac-toe pattern with a sharp knife or razor blade on top of each loaf. Slide loaves into oven. Mist loaves 6 to 8 times, pour 1 cup hot water into skillet and quickly close oven door. After 1 minute, mist with water again, and close oven door.
• Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue to bake until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, another 13 to 18 minutes. Place on a rack to cool.
