Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 cups warm/hot water
• 1 T (rounded) instant yeast
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup olive oil or canola oil
• 1 T salt
• approx. 8 cups Whole Wheat Flour

Method:

Put water, yeast, honey, and oil in mixing bowl.

Add a few cups of flour and the salt. Mix.

Add several more cups of freshly ground flour. 

 

Mix together. Keep adding flour and mixing until the dough is the right consistency (just to the point of not being too sticky to the touch any more). 

 

If you are using an electric mixer you will add flour until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl and the side of the bowl is 'clean'. Mix the bread in an electric mixer for 10 minutes or knead by hand. 

Take the dough out of the mixing bowl.

 

Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces.

 

 

 

Shape each of the 3 pieces into a loaf shape by folding over the edges of the dough into the center, rotating the dough, and repeating.

Oops! My 3 pieces aren't equal sizes. Oh well. Close enough. 

 

Cover with a towel and let dough raise in a warm place for about an hour. 

  

Put the bread pans into the hot oven. 
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes. 

 Remove bread from oven. 

Wait a couple of minutes then remove the bread from pans and place on cooling rack. 

 Wait until bread is mostly cooled off before cutting it. 

 

Serve with butter, jam, peanut butter, or slice for sandwiches. Delicious and healthy! Enjoy!!
