GREAT HARVEST HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD COPYCAT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add water, yeast, honey and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes (or until the yeast foams).
• Add in flour 1 cup at a time, kneading it between each cup of flour added if you are making it by hand. If you are making it with a mixer (like a Bosch or Kitchen Aid), use a paddle attachment and just let it mix while you add the flour.
• Knead bread for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add only enough flour so that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl. Every time I make bread, the amount of flour I use varies - humidity and elevation will make a big difference too. I usually use between 10-11 cups.
• Preheat oven to 170 degrees; turn the oven off, and let dough rise inside the oven for 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove bowl from oven. Spray the back of your hand with cooking spray and punch down the dough. Form into a log and cut in half, forming two larger-sized loaves. Put into 2 greased loaf pans.
• Again, preheat oven (if it?s not warm anymore) to 170 degrees and let the dough in the pans rise in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
• Remove dough from oven and set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once oven is pre-heated, place the loaves back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from pans immediately and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

• In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, 1/3 cup seeds, salt, yeast and 2-1/2 cups bread flour. Stir in water and molasses until blended; dough will be wet and sticky., Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until more than doubled in size and bubbles are present on surface, 12 to 18 hours. Stir in remaining bread flour., Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle well with additional cornmeal; turn dough onto prepared pan. Gently shape with a spatula into a 9-in. round loaf. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 2 hours or until dough holds an indentation when gently pressed (loaf will slightly increase in size)., Arrange one oven rack at lowest rack setting; place second rack in middle of oven. Place an oven-safe skillet on bottom oven rack; preheat oven and skillet to 475°. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil., Gently press remaining seeds onto top of loaf. Wearing oven mitts, place bread on top rack. Pull bottom rack out by 6-8 in.; add boiling water to skillet. (Work quickly and carefully, pouring water away from you. Don't worry if some water is left in the saucepan.) Carefully slide bottom rack back into place; quickly close door to trap steam in oven., Reduce heat to 425°; bake for 10 minutes. Remove skillet from oven; bake bread 20-25 minutes longer or until deep golden brown and bread sounds hollow when center is tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

HARVEST GRAIN BLEND FOR BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. Store in tightly sealed container.
• To use, substitute mix flour, using 2 tbsp per 1 cup of flour.

CRANBERRY ORANGE WHEAT BREAD (LIKE GREAT HARVEST), BREADMAKER

Steps:

• Add ingredients to breadmaker pan in the order listed. I always mix the flour together with the salt and gluten before adding, and then make a well for the yeast in the center of the flour. My "mix-in" setting doesn't mix very well, so I just dumped the cranberries and orange zest on the top and it mixed in beautifully on the regular setting.
• Bake on the regular setting, light crust.

FLUFFY FALL HARVEST APPLE CINNAMON BUNS USING BREAD MAKER

Steps:

• 1. Add according to manufacturer recommendations, milk, egg, melted butter (4 tbsp), water, pudding mix, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Select Dough Cycle.
• 2. When Dough cycle is done, remove dough onto clean, lightly floured surface and kneed for 3 minutes. Gently but firmly with the palm of your hands work the dough to start a triangle shape(this does not need be perfect). Using a rolling pin, start rolling out from the middle to edges to stretch the dough and smooth it out, keeping the triangle form.
• 3. In a clean container with lid or a large plastic glass, place brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts and apples and place lid on top. Shake container to coat all the apples and walnuts.
• 4. With a clean hand, smear 1/4 c of softened butter on the dough, making sure all dough has the "smear" of butter, as well as the edges. (Please use some of the remaining 1/4 portion of softened butter if needed for this step). Sprinkle the sugar, apple, cinnamon and walnut mix on top of the butter, and gently press into the dough.
• 5. Starting at the widest end, roll the dough into the shape of a log . Use any excess cinnamon mixture at this time on the outside of the log with remaining butter. Pinch seem together to seal and place seal side down. Slice the log in half with a serrated knife. That half should be cut in half, and those 2 remaining pieces should also be split in half resulting in 4 pieces per side of the log (8 total). Place into a buttered glass baking dish and place a towel over dish, allowing dough to rise for 1 hr. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 16-18 minutes.
• 6. Meanwhile, with a hand mixer, blend cream cheese, softened butter and sugar together to combine. Add vanilla extract and salt, mix to blend and set aside. Topping can be added while buns are warm or, leave off if freezing.
• 7. Note: If freezing, let buns cool completely. Wrap one or two at a time with plastic wrap and then place into freezer bag. I would not recommend to freeze with topping as it is too messy even frozen with the plastic, although you can try it (I have some lightly frosted now in there).

GREAT HARVEST HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add water, yeast, honey and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes (or until the yeast foams). Add in flour 1 cup at a time, kneading it between each cup of flour added if you are making it by hand. If you are making it with a mixer (like a Bosch or Kitchen Aid), use a paddle attachment and just let it mix while you add the flour. Knead bread for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add only enough flour so that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl. Every time I make bread, the amount of flour I use varies - humidity and elevation will make a big difference too. I usually use between 10-11 cups. Preheat oven to 170 degrees; turn the oven off, and let dough rise inside the oven for 15 minutes. Carefully remove bowl from oven. Spray the back of your hand with cooking spray and punch down the dough. Form into a log and cut in half, forming two larger-sized loaves. Put into 2 greased loaf pans. Again, preheat oven (if it?s not warm anymore) to 170 degrees and let the dough in the pans rise in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size. Remove dough from oven and set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once oven is pre-heated, place the loaves back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and let cool completely on a cooling rack. NOTES *You don't want the water to be TOO hot, or it will kill the yeast. I would say that it's maybe around 110 degrees. My rule of thumb is as warm as you can stand to wash your face in

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide into fourths; cut each portion into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 9-in. rope. Place two ropes end to end on a greased baking sheet (dough will temporarily extend over sides of pan). Place 10 ropes side by side vertically over the 9-in. ropes. Bring ends of the two horizontal ropes together over the "bundle" of ropes and tie in the center. Curve top half of ropes outward from the center. Repeat with the remaining dough. Brush with milk; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Uncover. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut diagonal slits in rope tops to look like wheat. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter if desired.
