HONEY WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

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.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• CREATE THE SPONGE: In the bowl of a stand mixer, or large mixing bowl if you will be kneading by hand, combine the water, yeast, and 2 cups (8.5 oz, 238 gr) of the flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture will begin to grow in bulk to about double in size. (If the mixture does not grow in bulk then the yeast is not active and the sponge should be restarted with fresh yeast.)
• COMBINE THE DOUGH: Use a spoon or rubber spatula to deflate the air out of the sponge. Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl and stir until combined.
• KNEAD: If using a stand mixer, knead the dough with the dough hook attachment at medium/high speed for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally. If kneading by hand, knead on a lightly floured work surface for about 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to add more flour if it is too sticky. The dough will become less sticky as it is kneaded. Try to avoid adding too much flour.
• FERMENTATION: Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until double in size. This should take about 1 hour. It might take slightly longer if your kitchen is very cool.
• PUNCHING: After the dough has doubled in size, press down in the center of the dough with your fist (do not aggressively punch it) and bring the sides of the dough into the center, releasing the gas.
• RESTING: Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes before shaping to allow the gluten strands to relax. Meanwhile, position an oven rack on the center rung and preheat your oven to 350F (177C). Grease a 9 x 5 in (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter.
• SHAPING: On a clean work surface, pat the dough into a rectangle with the short end being about the width of your loaf pan. Bring one short end of the dough into the center and then the other end into the center so the ends are touching. Use the heel of your hand to press down and seal. Fold the loaf in half and gently move it into the loaf pan, seam side down. Use the palm of your hand to gently press down the dough and evenly distribute it in the pan.
• PROOFING: Cover the dough with a piece of plastic wrap and allow it rise until double in size. This should take about an hour. The loaf should be crowning the pan by about 1" (2.5 cm).
• BAKING: Bake the bread at 350F (177C) for 45-55 minutes. To test if it is done, thump the top of the bread and if it sounds hallow then it is done. If you have a thermometer, the bread is done when the internal temperature reads 190F-200F (88C-93C).
• RUB OR BRUSH BUTTER ON TOP OF THE BREAD when it comes out of the oven to prevent the crust from becoming hard. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.
• STORE uneaten bread in a twist tie bag or in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days. Slice the bread and wrap it well and freeze it if it is not eaten within a few days. Bread can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

• Put flour, salt, and gluten in bowl.
• Pour in yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add in honey, eggs, and crisco until combined, scraping sides. (I usually use an egg beater for this).
• Add more wheat flour and knead until smooth.
• Let set in warm place for about an hour until double in size.
• Divide into 3 loaves. Let rise again in warm place until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours).
• Bake as regular bread (I bake about 35 minutes at 375 or until the interior of the bread is 190 degrees using electric thermometer if you have one).
• Enjoy!

ORGANIC HONEY WHOLE GRAIN BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine honey, vegetable oil, yeast and warm water. Let sit while you combine dry ingredients.
• In a large bowl combine whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup spelt flour, salt, organic whole grain bread blend and hemp hearts. Whisk to combine.
• If using an electric stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix wet ingredients together. On low, gradually add dry ingredients. Add additional spelt flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be wet but not overly sticky. Continue to mix for 4 minutes.
• Oil a large bowl and pat the dough into a ball. Put into the bowl turning once to oil both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place the bowl in a warm area. Also to rise until doubled, approximately 1-1/2 hours.
• Shape into a sandwich loaf and put the dough into a 9x5 oiled loaf pan. Spray or brush the top lightly with oil. Cover the dough until it just peaks the pan, approximately 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the plastic wrap and bake in a 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes or until dough measures 185°F to 190°F with an instant-read thermometer.
• Remove bread from the pan immediately and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting.

HONEY WHEAT OATMEAL BREAD - ALL WHOLE GRAIN VERSION

Steps:

• Put ingredients into bread pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer of the bread machine.
• If you're going to use a timer, it is vital to keep the yeast away from both the liquids AND the salt.
• I make this on the white bread cycle and it comes out great, but you may wish to use the whole wheat cycle.
• I never noticed any difference except that the whole wheat cycle took a lot longer.
• Your machine may yield different results, tho.
• If you like crusty bread, just let the finished bread set on a rack to cool.
• If you want a softer crust, slip the hot bread into a plastic bag so that the crust will get steamed and be nice& soft- and good for sandwiches.

HOMEMADE HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of your standing mixer, add warm water, honey and yeast. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is proofed and looks foamy.
• Add canola oil, all-purpose flour 1 cup of white whole wheat flour and sea salt to the proofed yeast mixture in the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the dough hook.
• Stir the mixture with the dough hook, starting on low speed and increasing to medium-high, until combined
• Slowly add remaining white whole wheat flour ¼ cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
• Once the dough has formed a ball that is only slightly tacky and pulls away from the sides of the mixer, transfer it to a well-floured surface and knead until it becomes elastic and smooth.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl covered by a damp towel in a warm place to rise. Let rise until doubled in size (about 1-2 hours).
• After dough has doubled in size, gently press all the air out of it and grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
• Transfer the degassed dough to the greased loaf pan and cover with a warm damp towel.
• Let the dough rise until it reaches the top of the loaf pan, then preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf makes a hollow sound when hit with a wooden spoon. If the top is browning too quickly loosely cover the loaf with aluminum foil and move to a lower rack in the oven.
• Remove the bread pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes release the sides of the bread with a knife, and gently flip the pan over to remove the bread. Serve warm or let cool!

HONEY WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

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.

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Add 4 1/2 tsp yeast to 3/4 cup water.
• Add 1 cup of whole wheat flour and mix vigorously.
• Cover bowl with plastic and let sit for 45 minutes to proof.
• When sponge is ready, uncover bowl and add the 1 1/2 cups of warm water and 2 cups of whole wheat flour . Stir in very well.
• Now add the 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten, 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/3 cup honey and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix these in well. Now start adding the remaining flour about 1/2 cup at a time. (I use my KitchenAid for this).
• Knead dough in mixer for 10 minutes or 20-30 minutes by hand. Take a break half-way through if you're hand kneading and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Place dough into large greased bowl (preferably not metal) and cover with plastic. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until it doubles in size.
• Punch dough down, divide dough, and reshape into loaves. Place into greased 9x5 bread pans, cover with plastic and allow to rise again.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Make egg wash by whisking egg and water together in small bowl.
• Brush egg wash over tops of loaves and then place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
• To test for doneness, pull the loaf out of the pan and tap the bottom with a wooden handle. It should have a hollow sound.
• Cool these for at least an hour before slicing. If you don't wait that long the structure of the bread will not support a knife and will mush down and stay permanently mushed when you're done mangling it. Try to be patient.

WHOLE-GRAIN AND HONEY BREAD

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, stir together the bulgur and 1/2 cup boiling water. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bulgur to soften.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups water, honey, oil, yeast, and salt, stirring to dissolve the yeast.
• 3. Stir in the bread flour, wheat germ, and softened bulgur mixture. Stir in as much of the 4 cups whole-wheat flour as you can until the dough starts to pull away from the side of the bowl.
• 4. Knead for 6 to 7 minutes, gradually adding, if needed, enough of the remaining 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour to make the dough smooth and elastic. (The dough shouldn't be dry or stick to the surface. You may not need any of the additional 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, or you may need the entire amount if the dough is too sticky.)
• 5. Using cooking spray, lightly spray a large bowl and a piece of plastic wrap large enough to cover the top of the bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turning to coat all sides with the cooking spray. Cover the bowl with the plastic wrap with the sprayed side down. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place (about 85°F) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
• 6. Using cooking spray, lightly spray two 81/2 x 41/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pans and 2 pieces of plastic wrap large enough to cover the pans. Punch the dough down. Divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in one of the pans. Cover the pans with the plastic wrap with the sprayed side down. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the dough is 1 1/2 inches higher than the top of the pans.
• 7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. (Tent the bread with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes if necessary to prevent overbrowning.) Turn the loaves out onto a cooling rack. Let the bread cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
• 9. To freeze one loaf of dough to bake later, follow the preceding directions to the point where you place the shaped dough in a loaf pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and freeze the dough. After the dough is frozen, about 4 hours, remove it from the pan and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. When you are ready to bake, unwrap the dough and place it in a sprayed loaf pan. Cover the pan with lightly sprayed plastic wrap with the sprayed side down and let the dough thaw and rise at room temperature in a draft-free place (the thawing and rising will take 4 to 5 hours) or let the dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator and rise as directed. Bake as directed.
