Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi Jenny, here's an old tried and true recipe that makes 2 loaves, it's pure and simple with a wholesome flavor. " Whole Wheat Bread " 3 cups warm water 1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk 2 packets dry yeast 3 Tblspns. (1/3 stick) butter softened 1/4 cup honey 1 Tblspn. salt 6 1/2 - 7 1/2 cups whole wheat flour Stir the water, dry milk and yeast together in a large mixing bowl, and let stand for a minute or so to dissolve. Add the butter, honey and salt, and 3 cups of the flour, and beat vigorously for 2 minutes. Add enough remaining flour to make a manageable dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or two. Let rest for 10 minutes. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic-about 6 to 10 minutes-sprinkling on more flour as necessary to keep it from being too sticky. Put into a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise until double in bulk. Punch the dough down, divide in half, and form into two loaves. Place in greased loaf pans size 81/2 X 41/2 X 21/2 , cover lightly,and let rise to the tops of the pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool on racks. " Distance doesn't matter; it's only the first step that is difficult.
