Pete's Whole Wheat Bread

 

 

WONDERFUL everyday bread...
 

2 cups 

 

whole wheat flour, sifted

 

4 to 5 cups 

 

bread flour, sifted

 

2 Tbs 

 

granulated sugar

 

1½ tsp 

 

salt

 

1 Tbs 

 

yeast (a rounded Tablespoon)

 

2 ounces 

 

honey

 

1 2/3 cups 

 

water

 

2/3 cup 

 

milk

 

½ stick 

 

unsalted butter

 

 

1

In a large mixer bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, salt and yeast.

2

In a medium bowl, combine honey, milk, water and butter, and heat to 105 degrees in the microwave.

3

Stir liquids to melt the butter and add, all at once, to the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl.

4

With the dough hook installed on your stand mixer, mix dough. Add more flour by the Tablespoon, as needed, until the dough comes together and clears the bowl. Mix for 5 minutes with the dough hook and remove to counter surface.

5

Knead by hand until no longer sticky, adding flour as necessary.

6

Cover bowl with plastic wrap, let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Remove from bowl and divide dough in half. Make each half into a 10 x 12 rectangle and roll each up like a cigar. Pinch the seams. Roll on the countertop to make a uniform log and place in an oiled breadpan seam-side up. Shake the roll to oil the bottom, turn the pan over, catch the dough and reinsert it into the pan, seam-side-down.

7

Return to warm place and let rise an additional 30 minutes or until at least 1 inch above the pan top. Bake in a preheated 400°F. oven for 25 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on rack.

 

Yield: 2 loaves

 

 Cooking Tips

*To create a nice, warm place for your loaves to rise, turn on oven for 60 seconds and then turn it off. Turn the oven light on too. The temperature should be just about right for your loaves to rise nicely. (don't forget to turn off the oven!)

*If you do not plan to consume both loaves right away, they freeze beautifully. Wrap loaf with foil as soon as it comes out of the oven- just foil, nothing else- the wrapping-while-hot trick retains the moisture so when thawed it's very fresh tasting.

*Restaurant Quality- would make it again.  "This bread is amazingly soft and so very good.  We used Pete's tip of wrapping the second loaf in foil and freezing it.  When defrosted, the second loaf was just as excellent as the first!"

***Hey, This One's a Keeper!- would make it again.  "Very good! Slices easily for sandwiches."
