Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Whole Grain Bread Recipes     Wheat Bread

Time 3h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ¾ cups warm water
2 tablespoons honey
¾ teaspoon active dry yeast
3 ½ cups whole wheat flour, or more as needed, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt

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.

WHOLE-WHEAT COTTAGE CHEESE & HERB BREAD



Whole-Wheat Cottage Cheese & Herb Bread image

This savory, high-protein bread is great for sandwiches. It only requires one rise, right in the pan. Don't let it rise for too long, or it will puff so much that it will be difficult to slice. The dough is sticky, but if you keep your hands floured you won't have trouble working with it. It's from Martha Rose Shulman's column in the New York Times, "Recipe For Health".

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups nonfat cottage cheese or 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, at room temperature, pressed through a sieve or pureed in a food processor fitted with the steel bla
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup finely chopped dill
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl and stir in the sugar. Let stand for five to 10 minutes until creamy. Add the cottage cheese, egg, grated onion, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the baking soda and dill. Beat together well.
  • Add a cup of the whole-wheat flour and the salt, and fold inches Add the remaining whole-wheat flour, and fold inches Add enough of the all-purpose flour to make a dough that you can scrape onto a floured work surface. It will help to use a dough scraper, as the dough is sticky. Knead for 10 minutes, adding unbleached flour as necessary. The dough should be elastic and spring back when you press gently with a finger.
  • Oil a loaf pan with some of the remaining olive oil. Shape the dough into a loaf, and place in the pan with the seam side facing upward. Lightly brush the top with oil, then turn the loaf so that the seam side is down. Brush lightly again with olive oil. Spray or brush a piece of plastic wrap with oil, and place it, oiled side down, lightly over the pan. Cover with a damp kitchen towel, and place in a warm spot to rise until the dough reaches the edges of the pan, about one hour and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 F with a rack positioned in the middle.
  • Place the dough in the oven, and bake 45 minutes until the loaf responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pan, and cool on a rack.
