#wheat bread

From King Arthur's Big Book of Bread... Y'all. I think I'm gonna like this one.

I chose this as my next bread because the process is VERY similar to the (Not So) Basic White Sandwich Bread I've been making, but with some noticeable changes to the ingredients.

This is my first time baking with whole wheat, and instead of granulated sugar, this recipe uses honey to feed the yeast. Another difference is that the butter goes in at room temp instead of melted, and instead of water, we've basically doubled the milk.

Here it is after the initial mixing:

Then I let it rest for 15min and went for the knead. It was a PLEASURE (even with a modified method to favor my recovering wrist). I genuinely love kneading bread and this one was a pure delight.

Dark Mother Bread

Ingredients:

2 C. warm water

1 Tbs. active dry yeast

1/3 C. honey

3 C. whole wheat flour

1 tsp. salt

1/4 C. vegetable oil

2 Tbs. butter

4 C. all-purpose baking flour

Preparation:

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add honey and mix well. Allow a few minutes for the yeast to bloom.

Stir in the whole wheat flour, salt, vegetable oil, and butter and mix until a stiff dough has formed.

Gradually work the all-purpose flour into the mix, one cup at a time.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for about fifteen minutes. When it reaches the point where it's sort of elastic, shape it into a ball and place it into an oiled bowl.

Cover with a warm, damp cloth, and allow to sit and rise until it's doubled in size -- usually about 45 minutes.

Punch the dough down and cut in half, so you can make two loaves of bread. Place each half in a greased loaf pan and allow to rise. Once the dough has risen an inch or two above the top of the loaf pan, pop them in the oven. Bake at 375 for half an hour, or until golden brown at the top.

When you remove the loaves from the oven, allow to cool for about fifteen minutes before removing from the pan. If you like, brush some melted butter over the top of the hot loaves, to add a pretty, golden glaze to them.
