3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour ((you may need as much as 4 1/2 cups))

MOIST, LIGHT, & FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Moist, Light, & Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread image

After trying Kim's (my sister-in-law) moist wheat bread, I HAD to have the recipe! It was delish! You HAVE to follow this recipe to a "T" if you want it to be moist, light, & fluffy... Don't substitute or skip any of the ingredients. I had to order the SAF yeast and Dough Enhancer from www.beprepared.com (which took a few days to get delivered, but it was worth it). The vital wheat gluten is VITAL! This is the best whole wheat bread I've ever eaten - even better than specialty bread store's bread!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 40m

Yield 3 loaves, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -9 cups whole wheat flour (divided)
1 1/2 tablespoons saf instant yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons dough enhancer
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups warm water (114* - 116*)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use light-tasting olive oil)
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon liquid lecithin (found at health food stores)

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
  • In the mixer bowl (I mix mine in a Bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
  • Add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
  • Beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (About 3 minutes.)
  • Place the dough hook on the mixer.
  • Gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. Continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
  • Place in PAM-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with PAM and allow to rise for about one hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 350* and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • ** If you don't use all white-wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **You can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. I prefer using all white wheat flour or 1/2 white wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.

Tips:

  • Use the right flour. Whole wheat flour is a hearty and nutritious choice for bread, but it can be more difficult to work with than all-purpose flour. Be sure to use a high-quality whole wheat flour that is finely milled. You can also use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
  • Proof the yeast. Proofing the yeast is an important step that helps to ensure that your bread will rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough is an essential step that helps to develop the gluten in the flour. This will make your bread more elastic and chewy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will take about 1-2 hours. You can place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm oven or in a warm spot on your counter.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. Baking the bread at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the bread.

Conclusion:

Soft and fluffy whole wheat bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe is easy to follow and produces a delicious loaf of bread that is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your bread turns out perfect every time.
