Hearty Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar. Pour in beer, stir until a stiff batter is formed. It may be necessary to mix dough with your hands. Scrape dough into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil and add the oats and butter. bring back up to a boil and stir and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
• 2. In a small warm bowl add 1/2 cup warm water and add the yeast and 1 tblsp. of sugar. Set aside and let the yeast work.
• 3. In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, salt and the 4 3/4 cups flour. Stir to combine dry ingredients.
• 4. Add the yeast to the oatmeal mixture. Now add that mixture to the flour. Stir to combine. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on a floured surface and knead for until smooth and elastic. Adding only enough flour to get to that point.
• 5. In a large glass bowl that has been greased, place the dough in the bowl and turn once to oil the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size. About 1 hour.
• 6. Punch down the dough and let rest covered for 10 minutes. Divide dough into two pieces. Either shape and bake as loaves of bread or divide into 18 pc.'s and shape into rolls. Place 9 rolls in two greased round cake pans.
• 7. Cover and let rise for 45 to 55 minutes. Bake in oven at 350º for 30 minutes or until nice and browned.
• 8. Remove from oven and remove rolls from pan onto a cooling rack. Let cool to warm and serve. Makes 18 rolls.

Steps:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast. Set aside until a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor; pulse 4 times. Add chia seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, millet, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon oats; pulse until incorporated.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture in the food processor; process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.
• Turn dough into a well-oiled large bowl and cover with a damp towel; allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and knead a few times. Form dough into an oblong shape and place in a greased bread pan. Lightly press the remaining hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and oats onto the loaf. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the salt in the water.
• Add the honey and canola oil, mix well to completely dissolve.
• Add the eggs and mix well.
• Add 1-2 cups of the bread flour, mix until good and sloppy.
• Add the yeast, and mix well.
• Add the remainder of the bread flour, mixing well.
• Add in the wheat germ and then the whole wheat flour, a cup at a time, until difficult to mix with a spoon.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface (use any remaining whole wheat flour for your surface) and continue to mix and knead until all the flour is incorporated.
• Knead for 10-15 minutes, until dough is uniformly smooth, and bounces back at you when you press it. The firmness resembles a nerf ball, and the surface at this point should be tacky (like a post-it note) but not sticky enough to adhere to your hands.
• Pour a little bit of oil in your empty bowl, and coat all sides. Put the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil.
• Cover the bowl (with a large plate, or with plastic wrap) and set it in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, for approximately 60-90 minutes. If you used instant yeast the rising time will be shorter than for active dry yeast.
• Punch down dough and remove from bowl to floured surface.
• Knead briefly to incorporate oil.
• Form into two loaves, or into 24 dinner rolls or bread sticks.
• Put bread back in your warm spot, covered with plastic wrap, to rise again, another 45-60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake loaves for 30 minutes, rolls or bread sticks for 10-12 minutes, until golden on the crust.
• Cool on racks.
• Freezes well.

Steps:

• Stir yeast and molasses into water.
• Mix all dry ingredients except additional flour.
• Combine dry mixture with yeast mixture knead in additioal flour to form elastic dough.
• Place in greased bowl, turn greased side of dough up.
• Let rise in warm place until double, 60-90 minute
• Punch down dough and roll out on floured suface divide in half. Roll into loaves and place in greased bread pans.
• Let rise 45 min - 1 hour.
• Bake 350F for 40-45 minute.

Steps:

• Stir water and yeast together and let set for a minute.
• Add everything up to the bread flour, plus 1 cup of the bread flour. Beat by hand to combine, then use dough hooks and finish beating for 2 minutes.

• Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough, about 10 minutes. Put back in bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled.
• Punch dough down and shape into 2 loaves. Place in well greased pans (I use Pam). Let rise to the top of the pans.
• With a very sharp knife, make two slashes about 1/2" deep on each loaf.
• Bake at 375 for 40 - 50 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Add the oil, sugar, molasses, salt and remaining water. Combine flours; add 4-5 cups flour to mixture. Beat until smooth.
