-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons active dry yeast -- (2 pkgs)
pinch sugar -- or honey
1 cup warm water -- (105-115F)
1 cup warm milk -- (105-115F)
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 egg
3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- to 4C, or bread flour
This is the loaf you've been looking for - nutty, slightly sweet,
crusty whole wheat bread. It uses 40% whole grain flour and is made
in a heavy duty mixer for easier handling of the dough.
Yield: Two 9x5" loaves
Combine yeast and sugar in water in a small bowl and let stand until
foamy, about 10 min.
Combine milk, honey, and butter in a small bowl.
Combine whole wheat flour and salt in bowl with the paddle
attachment. Add milk mixture, egg and yeast mixture. Beat at medium
speed for 3 min, or until smooth. Add unbleached flour 1/2C at a time
until a soft dough is formed. This bread can be made by hand, if you prefer.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, about 5-7 min, adding flour 1T at a time as
necessary. Dough will retain a slightly sticky quality. Place in a
greased bowl, turn once to grease top and cover with plastic wrap.
Let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.
Gently deflate dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and
divide into 2 equal portions. Form into oblong loaves and place in
greased 9x5" pans. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until
level with tops of pans, about 30 min.
Place in a preheated 375F oven and bake 35-40 min. or until crusty
and golden. Turn out of pans to cool on a rack before slicing.
