Stone Ground Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together yeast, water, oil, and honey in a bowl to dissolve the yeast.
• Next add salt and whole wheat flour.
• Mix well, then add white flour.
• Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic (you can never'over-knead' the dough, sometimes I even punch the dough; it helps relieve stress!).
• Cover with a towel and let raise 20 minutes.
• Punch down and shape into a round loaf, place on greased cookie sheet, cover, and let raise until double (about 1 hour).
• Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients into standard Kitchen Aid mixer bowl and begin to mix on low for two minutes(I use the wire wisk attachment to keep it airy).
• Switch to dough hook attachment and resume mixing at a medium speed.
• Combine egg and vegetable oil and beat until mixed.
• Add to bowl.
• Warm honey in microwave to make it pourable and add to bowl.
• Begin to slowly add warm water to bowl while mixing. Pour water until dough completely wraps itself around the dough hook in a large ball.
• Grease a large mixing bowl and place dough in bowl.
• Cover with a towel and let rise for an hour.
• Grease two loaf pans and coat grease with flour. Divide dough into tow loaves and place in each pan.
• Cover and let rise until dough rises 1-2 inches over top of loaf pan.
• Preheat oven to 350 and bake loaves on center rack for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
• Cover loaves with a towel on a cooling rack for an hour and then place in large ziplock bag for storage.
