Microwave Whole Wheat Bread
Recipe By : "Theis, Lee" <theisl@UH2297P01.DAYTONOH.ncr.com>
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bread-Bakers Mailing List Breads
Hand Made
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 C Whole-Wheat Bread Flour
1 1/4 C Warm Water -- To 1 1/2 C
1 Tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
1 Tbsp Honey
1/2 C Warm Water
1/4 Tsp Honey
2 Tsp Yeast
Mix the last three ingredients in a measuring cup, let sit for a couple
minutes, then pour into the flour. Put the honey and molasses into the
same cup, add 1 cup water, stir it to dissolve, then pour it into the flour.
Mix the dough, adding the remaining 1/4-1/2 cup of water as necessary to
get all the flour into the dough. When the dough is ready to start
kneading, put 3 cups of water in a large glass jar or bowl, and put in the
microwave for 6-8 minutes on HIGH until it begins to boil. (The water,
according to my microwave book, acts as a heat absorber and moderator. I
never tried making bread without it, so it may or may not be necessary.)
While the water is heating, kneed the dough. (I use an extra-large
stainless steel mixing bowl to make bread, so I just kneed the dough in the
same bowl I used to mix it. Makes clean up a snap.) Kneed for about 8
minutes, or until the water is boiling. **Very** lightly grease two 6-cup
microwave bowls with vegetable oil. Cut the dough into two pieces, form
these pieces into balls by turning the sides down and under, "twist" the
bottom of the balls closed, and put the two balls into the two bowls, twist
side down. Put the bowls of dough into your microwave along with the jar
of boiled water and microwave on the low power setting (i.e., "1" or "10")
for 20-25 minutes to let the dough rise. The dough will approximately
double in size. Don't "punch it down" or kneed it a second time--just
microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes to "bake" it. (I do this all at one time
by programming my microwave to cook at "10" for 18 minutes, then "HIGH" for
10 minutes.) After "baking", remove the bread by simply turning the bowls
upside down and shaking out the bread. You'll have two small round loaves
when done.
