Soft And Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

SOFT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Place the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to proof.
• Add the honey and butter.
• Blend in 2 cups of the flour and the salt until moistened. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
• Stir in an additional 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups flour, until dough pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
• Knead on floured surface, adding 1/2 to 3/4 cup additional flour, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Place dough in large greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Lightly mist a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
• Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
• Place in prepared pan, cover loosely with greased plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Uncover dough, and bake 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped.

MOIST, LIGHT, & FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
• In the mixer bowl (I mix mine in a Bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
• Add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
• Beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (About 3 minutes.)
• Place the dough hook on the mixer.
• Gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. Continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
• Place in PAM-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with PAM and allow to rise for about one hour.
• Preheat your oven to 350* and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• ** If you don't use all white-wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **You can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. I prefer using all white wheat flour or 1/2 white wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.
