Soft Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a stand-mixer bowl until mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add half the whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixture. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until incorporated. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix with a dough hook attachment on low speed, slowly adding the remaining whole wheat flour, increasing the speed to high. Mix on high until the batter is combined and not sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Flour a surface to work the dough.
• Place the dough onto the floured work surface and shape into a loaf. Use more flour if necessary. Place into the prepared loaf pan.
• Let shaped dough sit in a warm place until it has risen over the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until top of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cool an additional hour before slicing; otherwise it will feel doughy.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a breadmaker, or use a stand mixer until a soft and springy dough forms.
• Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
• Shape and place in greased loaf pan.
• Cover and let rise another hour.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 38 minutes. Makes one 1.5 lb loaf.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the order listed into a bread machine. Use the dough setting and let the machine do all the kneading. My machine mixes everything, lets the dough rest, then rekneads, then rises. Takes about an hour and a half.
• Once the machine beeps, punch the dough down and remove to a lightly floured surface. I lightly kneaded and then shaped into a loaf. Place in a greased bread pan and put someplace to rise for an hour. I used my oven and just didn't turn it on. Removed from the oven after an hour.
• Heat oven to 325 and bake in the center of oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and rub a tablespoon of butter all over top crust. Allow to initially cool by placing pan on a rack. Then turn the pan on its side and the loaf will come right out (as long as you thoroughly greased the pan that is).
• I was not able to let the loaf fully cool -- as I must have the end piece while still warm :) My bread knife sliced it perfect and it held its shape anyways.

Steps:

• Mix water with yeast and sugar and let sit until foamy (about 10 minutes). In the meanwhile, put the 3 eggs (in the shell) in a bowl of hot water (to bring the eggs to room temperature).
• Put flour, salt, and gluten in bowl.
• Pour in yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add in honey, eggs, and crisco until combined, scraping sides. (I usually use an egg beater for this).
• Add more wheat flour and knead until smooth.
• Let set in warm place for about an hour until double in size.
• Divide into 3 loaves. Let rise again in warm place until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours).
• Bake as regular bread (I bake about 35 minutes at 375 or until the interior of the bread is 190 degrees using electric thermometer if you have one).
• Enjoy!

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. Add enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into a loaf. Place in 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Bake at 350° until golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Measure out the first three ingredients into a bowl, set aside.
• Mix in a bowl the water (110-120 degrees), olive oil, honey and yeast.
• Slowly mix in the flour (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer). Dough should be not sticking to the sides of the bowl. I usually end up using 3 1/2 cups of flour. I let my mixer knead the dough for 7-8 minutes. If you knead by hand, knead for 10-12 minutes. Wheat bread needs a longer knead time.
• Place in oiled bowl in warm place, covered by a towel or plastic wrap,for about an hour or until about double in size.
• Punch down, turn out of bowl. I make the dough into a ball and use a serrated knife to cut in half. Shape each half into a rectangular roll and place in loaf pans.
• Cover and let rise about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped.

Steps:

• Pour warm water into bread machine pan with agave/honey and yeast. Let rest until froth forms (~8 minutes).
• Mix dry ingredients separately. Addition of cinnamon is added for its natural preservative nature and not for taste. More shakes will add a different taste to the bread.
• After froth forms add dry ingredients to bread machine and set on basic (white bread) setting on light crust.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
• Sift together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl. Cut the margarine into the flour mixture until pieces are nearly indistinguishable. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the oil and buttermilk. Stir with a spatula until dry mixture is completely moistened. Move the dough to a lightly-floured surface. Lightly knead the dough for no more than 1 minute. Place the dough into the prepared pan; pat down and around to form a round loaf. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf with your finger. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon buttermilk; sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over the top of the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); rotate pan and bake another 30 minutes.
• Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let set for 10-15 minutes. The mixture should turn frothy.
• Add the yeast mixture to bread machine pan.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Bake according to the bread machine instructions.
