Bread
100% Whole Wheat Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
1
1
⁄
2
teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons honey
In a large bowl sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy. Stir
to mix, then add oil, honey, salt, and egg. Mix. Add 2 cups of the flour and mix for
about 1 minute. Let stand about 20 minutes until bubbly and starting to rise. Add 1
more cup flour and mix.* Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a
smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until double in
size. Punch dough down and let rise 1 hour. Punch down. Shape into loaf. Place into
9x5 inch greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes. Bake at
400°F for 30 minutes.
Substitution:
For this whole wheat bread, do not substitute all-purpose flour for any
of the whole wheat flour.
Success Tip!
To shape loaves, roll out the dough to a rectangle, with the shorter side being slightly
longer than the length of the pan. Starting at the shorter end, roll up the dough. Tuck
the end under and place in the greased loaf pan.
