Natural Way Mills Whole Wheat Bread

Sweet and hearty, this mild wheat bread tastes of honey and molasses. Its soft crust and crumb make delightful, easy-going slices that your family will love!

4 1/2 c. warm water

1 tsp. honey or molasses

3 T. active dry yeast (Dissolve yeast in water and sweetening)
 

Add:

4-5 c. 100% Whole Wheat Flour

2 T. gluten flour (opt.)

 

Beat with electric mixer until gluten is well developed—about 3 min. Let rest until light and foamy—about 5 min.

 
Add:

3 T. honey or molasses

1 T. (rounded) salt

1 T. liquid lecithin

 

Stir well, gradually adding balance of flour (about 4-5 c.). Knead until smooth and spongy (8-10 min.). Place in lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise until well doubled in size.

Turn on to counter, divide into 5 equal parts and form into balls. Let balls rest 10 min. Form into loaves, and place in slightly oiled pans, let rise until doubled.

Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes.

Note: small loaf pans are recommended to use with whole-grain breads.
