SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Simple Whole Wheat Bread image

PLEASE SEE MY METRIC CHART ABOUT THE FLOUR. Make sure the egg and oil are at room temperature and be sure to aerate your flour before measuring. No mixer? Just mix it in a bowl by hand but knead longer, about 150 turns. (This recipe also works with all white flour) - Jenny Jones

Time 1h30m

Yield One loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (240-260 g) whole wheat flour (Aerate Flour Before Measuring - See How)
1/2 cup (60-65 g) bread flour or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons (1 packet / 7g) instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey but add honey after the milk)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240 mL) milk (reduced fat or whole milk), heated to 120-130° F for instant yeast (or 110-120°F for active dry)
2 Tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil (or any vegetable oil)
1 egg
about 1/4 cup additional bread flour

Steps:

  • Place flours, yeast, sugar & salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir in milk, followed by oil and egg.
  • Beat on high for 2 minutes.
  • On low speed add about 1/4 cup bread flour until dough forms a mass.
  • Place dough on floured surface and knead 50 turns.
  • Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a loaf and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4-inch loaf pan.
  • Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until it's one inch taller than the pan, about 35 minutes.
  • Meantime, preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, I cover the top of the loaf with a foil tent to prevent over-browning.
  • Remove immediately from pan onto a cooling rack. Let it cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

FAST NO-KNEAD WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Fast No-Knead Whole Wheat Bread image

This recipe is a variation on the original no-knead bread, which Mark Bittman learned from the baker Jim Lahey. It's an attempt to bake a loaf with a higher percentage of whole grain. The results are wonderful: you can use 100 percent whole grains, you can vary their percentages all you want (though all-rye bread doesn't rise much at all) and you can add nongrain flours, sweeteners or dairy. If the proportions of liquid, solid and yeast stay the same, the timing and results will be consistent.

Time 45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup whole rye flour
1/2 cup coarse cornmeal
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Oil as needed

Steps:

  • Combine flours, cornmeal, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups water and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest about 4 hours at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.
  • Oil a standard loaf pan (8 or 9 inches by 4 inches; nonstick works well). Lightly oil your hands and shape dough into a rough rectangle. Put it in pan, pressing it out to the edges. Brush top with a little more oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 1 hour more.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread about 45 minutes, or until loaf reaches an internal temperature of 210 degrees. Remove bread from pan and cool on a rack.

QUICK RISE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Quick Rise Whole Wheat Bread image

I attended a whole wheat bread making class at our extension office and this was the recipe that was prepared. I made it the very next day, turned out light, soft and wonderful! Just a note: this recipe uses "instant" yeast. Instant yeast is a quick rising yeast and does not need two risings to make excellent bread. I use SAF brand.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups hot water (about 120 degrees )
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter)
1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
7 -8 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten
1 -2 tablespoon instant yeast

Steps:

  • Add ingredients in the order listed to bread mixing bowl.
  • Using a dough hook, mix well and add more flour if needed so that the dough cleans the sides of the bowl (dough should be slightly tacky.
  • Knead for 10 minutes.
  • Shape into 2 to 3 loaves depending on the size of your pans. Add dough to sprayed pans.
  • Cover with tented plastic or cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 for the last half hour of rising. It is ready to go in the oven when the dough is doubled in bulk.
  • Turn oven down to 350 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Take out of pans and let cool on wire rack.
  • Brush tops with melted butter to keep crusts soft.
  • additional ingredients may be added:.
  • Eggs:.
  • decrease water by 1/4 cup and add two beaten eggs. Eggs add flavor, liquid, color, structure, nutrients and tenderness to breads.
  • Cracked wheat:.
  • Add 1/2 cup uncooked cracked wheat for each 4 cups of flour. If using uncooked cracked wheat the bread will be somewhat crunchy. cooking the cracked wheat first will add a variety of texture without the crunch feel. Many people like to put oatlems or other cooked cereals into their bread. As a guidelin, use 1/2 cup or less per 4 cups of flour.
  • Potatoes:.
  • They add a sweet, rich flavor to breads. Add 1/2 cup to 4 cups flour and reduce water by 1/4 cup.

EASY 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Easy 100% Whole Wheat Bread image

This is a foolproof, beginner 100% whole wheat bread, easy to make with a stand mixer like a Kitchenaid®.

Provided by Mme Rocha

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Make sure your yeast is active before using it. You can do this by adding a teaspoon of sugar to a cup of warm water and then adding the yeast. If the yeast is active, it will start to foam after a few minutes.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a great way to make a quick and easy loaf of whole wheat bread. The bread is soft and fluffy, with a slightly nutty flavor. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating plain. You can also experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique loaf of bread. For example, you could add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the dough. You could also use different types of flour, such as rye flour or oat flour.
