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. |

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. |

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!"
