Homemade Honey Wheat Bread Recipe
Soft and fluffy yeast bread made with freshly ground whole wheat flour.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 cups hot water
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup honey
- 2 Tbsp SAF instant yeast
- ⅓ cup vital wheat gluten
- ⅓ cup instant potato flakes
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tsp salt
- 12 ½ cups freshly ground wheat flour more or less
Instructions
- Spray four 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pans with non-stick spray; set aside.
- Mix water, oil, honey, yeast, gluten, potato flakes and white flour in a Bosch mixer. Add salt and 4-5 cups of whole wheat flour, beat till smooth. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Add enough whole wheat flour to make a soft dough, then knead for five minutes in the Bosch.
- On a counter sprayed with non-stick spray, shape the bread dough into four loaves. Place dough seam side down in prepared loaf pans.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place till doubled, (30-60 minutes) then bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Brush the tops of hot bread with melted butter if desired.
Notes
- Don't overbake. Bread is done when the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reads 195° on an instant-read thermometer.
- Serving size is based on loaves being cut into 8 slices each.
