Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the water, butter, and molasses over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes (to 120-130 degrees F).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 2 cups of the flour, the salt, and yeast. Add the liquids and mix on low until moistened.
- Continue to mix on low and add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough is firm (you might need a little more or less than 4 total cups). Knead with the mixer for 3-5 minutes or by hand for 5-8 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a rough rectangle about 10 inches wide and 12 inches long. Roll up dough and into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled again, 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, until loaf is golden brown. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.

Steps:
- Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a stand-mixer bowl until mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add half the whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixture. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until incorporated. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Mix with a dough hook attachment on low speed, slowly adding the remaining whole wheat flour, increasing the speed to high. Mix on high until the batter is combined and not sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Flour a surface to work the dough.
- Place the dough onto the floured work surface and shape into a loaf. Use more flour if necessary. Place into the prepared loaf pan.
- Let shaped dough sit in a warm place until it has risen over the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until top of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cool an additional hour before slicing; otherwise it will feel doughy.

100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD-LOW FAT AND GOOD!
This recipe yields 3 hearty loaves of bread Here is what I love about this recipe. It's simple, uses few ingredients and you have great results every time. Don't be afraid of making this bread! This is my own take on a recipe my sister-in-law shared with me. I played around with using different ingredients and have found that for a heartier loaf (perfect as a side to a homey soup) you can add oats. Also, ground flaxseed makes a healthy addition of Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an extra dose of fiber. This bread is not too dense, but comes out soft enough for sandwiches and freezes extremely well. It makes awesome toast for any toast lovers too!

100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD, PLAIN AND SIMPLE (NO-KNEAD)
This is the 100 percent whole wheat bread from the cookbook "Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day" by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois. It makes enough for four 1-pound loaves. If you are familiar with the book, you know that the principle is to make a big batch of dough, then grab off pieces each day (or so) to bake hot and fresh. They also say whole grain spelt can be substituted. In addition, they offer more recipes, photos, videos, etc. at www.healthybreadinfive.com. I would just like to mention that the cookbook is great for the wealth of background information and a huge variety of recipes. It's great to read, so even if you find the recipes you like online, if you have even a little interest in bread making, you will enjoy the book immensely!

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, yeast, salt and vital wheat gluten in a 5-quart bowl, or a lidded (not airtight) food container.
- Add the water and mix without kneading, using a spoon. (You might need to use wet hands to get the last bit of flour to incorporate.).
- Cover, not airtight, and allow the dough to rest at room temperature until is rises and collapses (or flattens on top), approximately 2 hours.
- The dough can be used immediately after the initial rise, though it is easier to handle when cold. Refrigerate it in a lidded (not airtight) container and use over the next 10 days.
- On baking day, dust the surface of the refrigerated dough with flour and cut off a 1-pound (grapefruit-sized; 450 grams) piece. Dust the piece with flour and quickly shape it into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go.
- Allow the loaf to rest, loosely covered with plastic wrap, on a pizza peel prepared with cornmeal or lined with parchment paper for 90 minutes (40 minutes if using fresh, unrefrigerated dough). Alternatively, you can rest the loaf on a silicone mat or greased cookie sheet if you don't have a pizza peel.
- Thirty minutes before baking time, preheat oven to 450F (230C). Place a baking stone on the middle rack. Place an empty metal broiler tray on another rack.
- Just before baking, use a pastry brush to paint the top with water. Sprinkle with your favorite seed mixture. Slash the loaf with 1/4-inch deep parallel cuts using a serrated bread knife.
- Slide the loaf directly onto the hot stone. (Or place the silicone mat or cookie sheet on the stone.) Pour one cup hot tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the oven door.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until richly browned and firm. If you used a mat or cookie sheet, remove it and bake the loaf directly on the stone for the last third of the baking time.
- Allow the bread to cool on a rack before slicing and eating.
- Variation: Honey whole wheat sandwich bread.
- Add 1/2 cup honey and decrease the water by 1/2 cup. Bake a 2-pound (900 g) piece of dough in a loaf pan at 350F (180C) for 50-60 minutes.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of water or, if you are using dry yeast, bloom the yeast as the package instructs.
- Using the 1 or 2 setting on your stand mixer with the dough hook attachment in place, add the water and yeast to the bowl of your mixer.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Once the dough is formed to a smooth dough, turn it out onto your work surface.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover and place in a warm draft free location.
- When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down by pushing your fist into the center of the dough.
- Let it rise again and take it out of the bowl. Separate into 3 1-pound loaves. You can place the loaves into loaf pans if you like.
- Let the bread proof until doubled in size again. Putting them in an oven that has not been turned on is a good place for this.
- Take the proofed loaves out of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- I like to egg wash the bread and then slash it, but you can skip the wash if you like.
- Bake until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is a good source of fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. It also has a lower glycemic index than white flour, meaning it won't cause a spike in your blood sugar levels.
- Use low-fat milk: Low-fat milk is a good source of calcium and protein without the added fat. You can also use almond milk or another type of plant-based milk if you prefer.
- Add healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in olive oil or avocado, can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. They can also help improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, and E.
- Add sweetness naturally: Instead of adding refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or fruit. These sweeteners are not only lower in calories, but they also have a lower glycemic index, meaning they won't cause a spike in your blood sugar levels.
- Be patient: It takes time to make good bread. Don't be discouraged if your first loaf doesn't turn out perfect. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
Conclusion:
Making your own whole wheat bread is a great way to save money, eat healthier, and enjoy delicious, fresh bread. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect loaves of bread that your whole family will love. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
