Easiest Whole Wheat Bread (from Cindy Hansen)

Christa Lydiksen

2 (8x4") loaves (I usually make 3 loaves)

1/3 C oil
1/3 C honey or 1/2 C sugar
2 1/4 tsp salt
2 3/4 C steaming hot tap water
1/4 C gluten flour
1 1/2 Tbs dough enhancer
1 1/4 Tbs instant yeast
7-8 C whole wheat flour

Mix together first four ingredients in mixer with a dough hook. Add 1/2 of the flour and beat. Put in 1-2 more cups of flour, gluten flour, dough enhancer and yeast. Beat again. With mixer on medium speed, add remaining flour just until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead 6-10 minutes on medium-high speed.

Pre-heat oven to LUKE WARM (I do 100 degrees) and turn off. Spray or oil pans. Pour dough out onto oiled counter, divide and shape into loaves and put into pans. Let loaves rise 35 minutes in warmed oven. Do not remove bread from oven; turn oven to 350 F and bake for 30 minutes. Tip out of pans and cool on cooling rack.

I usually do 1/2 wheat 1/2 white. Or any combination up to all wheat. Print Recipe
