Whole Wheat Bread

There is nothing better than homemade bread. I say this all the time because I do not know anyone that would disagree with me. So a way that I try to eat healthy is by making my own whole wheat bread. This recipe is from my mother in law and I love it. It is so fast and easy to make. 

Whole Wheat Bread: makes two loaves

1 Tbl- dry yeast 

1/4 C- warm water

2 1/2 C- hot tap water

1 Tbl- salt

1/3 C- oil

1/3 C- honey 

6  C- Whole Wheat Flour 

First start with adding yeast into your warm water mix together and wait about 10-15mins until it rises

While your yeast is rising, add the hot tap water and 3 cups of whole wheat flour into your kitchen aid ( or Bosch). Mix until blended on low speed so you do not have flour flying everywhere. 

Add salt, oil, and honey and mix until blended. Add 1 cup of whole wheat flour to mixture and blend. 

The add your yeast mixture to the flour and blend on low speed. 

Add about 2-3 cups of whole wheat flour. You will know when to stop adding flour once the dough stops sticking to the side of the bowl. 

Knead for 10 minutes 

Take dough out and put on an oiled counter and split dough into two sections for two loaves of bread. 

Form into bread loaves and lay them into bread pans. 

Cover with a damp towel until they rise. About 30-35 minutes. 

Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Take out of bread pans and rub butter on top for a softer crust and then let it cool.
