• 6. Pinch dough down, divide in to two equal parts, pound out any bubbles. shape into 2 loaves and place into buttered 9x5 inch bread pans
• 7. cover loosely with plastic wrap butter tops of loaves and let rise in a warm area until doubled
• 8. Place a small ovenproof pan of water in the bottom shelf of the oven, preheat oven to 375 degrees

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add egg, oil, syrup, salt, whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down. Shape into loaves. Place in three greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 40 minutes. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Brush with melted butter.

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, add yeast. Mix together hot water and maple syrup, the temp to be 110-115 degrees. Pour over yeast and stir. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes or until foamy.
• 2. To the yeast mixture add egg, oil, salt, wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups of the bread flour. Mix with dough hook until it has all come together. With mixer running, slowly add more bread flour, 1/4 c at a time, until the dough pulls from sides and forms a ball. You may not need all the flour, I only needed 1 c more. It will be soft and slightly sticky. Continue to mix with dough hook for 5 minutes. Place dough into a greased bowl, flipping over to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap then a towel and let rise in warm place until doubled in size. This only took 1/2 an hour for me. But could easily take up to an hour.
• 3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, give a gentle knead, cut in half, shape into loaves and place in greased 4x8 pans. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size again. This only took 15 minutes for mine. But could take up to 40. While bread is rising preheat oven to 350.
• 4. I set my pans on an air bake pan, then bake for 30-35 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165. Remove from oven. Allow to rest in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans to a cooling rack to cool completely. If desired, you can brush loaves with melted butter. Store in plastic bags and can be frozen for up to 2 months. You can make buns from this too! super easy! super good! But the internal temp should be approx 190 with a bun.
• 5. It is not typical for bread to rise this fast...this recipe does happen to use more yeast then normal. But it will also depend on what kind you use as well.
