Whole Wheat Bran Bread Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT BRAN BREAD

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water and milk; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in the cereal, butter, molasses, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Heat remaining water to 110°-115°; pour into a large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast; stir until dissolved. Add cereal mixture and whole wheat flour; beat well. Add enough all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. Shape into two loaves and place in greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes.

WHOLE WHEAT BRAN BUNS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, stir together the warm water, salt, honey, molasses, and eggs. Beat in the whole wheat flour, bran, wheat gluten, and yeast. Using a dough hook or large spoon, beat about 2 minutes. Dough will be very sticky. Turn dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
• 2. After rising, punch down and let rest 20 minutes. Turn dough out onto a board dusted with 1/2 cup of the unbleached bread flour. Knead lightly, working in enough bread flour to make it smooth and elastic.
• 3. Divide dough into 12 pieces, and roll into balls, larger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. Place evenly in a well-greased 9" x 13" pan. Let rise until double in volume, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• 4. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake. Buns should still be soft-feeling, but sound a bit hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter. Remove from pan before separating and place on cooling rack. Allow to cool prior to separating into buns. Use a sharp knife for this to get evenly-sized buns. Store tightly wrapped. Refrigerate if leftover for more than 2 days.
