GREAT HARVEST HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD COPYCAT



Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread Copycat image

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups very warm water (see note below)
3 Tablespoons fast active-dry yeast
3/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon salt
10-11 cups whole wheat flour (freshly ground if possible)

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.
