Time 1h30m

Yield One loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (240-260 g) whole wheat flour (Aerate Flour Before Measuring - See How)
1/2 cup (60-65 g) bread flour or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons (1 packet / 7g) instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey but add honey after the milk)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240 mL) milk (reduced fat or whole milk), heated to 120-130° F for instant yeast (or 110-120°F for active dry)
2 Tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil (or any vegetable oil)
1 egg
about 1/4 cup additional bread flour

Steps:

Place flours, yeast, sugar & salt in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in milk, followed by oil and egg.
Beat on high for 2 minutes.
On low speed add about 1/4 cup bread flour until dough forms a mass.
Place dough on floured surface and knead 50 turns.
Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Shape dough into a loaf and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4-inch loaf pan.
Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until it's one inch taller than the pan, about 35 minutes.
Meantime, preheat oven to 375° F.
Bake for 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, I cover the top of the loaf with a foil tent to prevent over-browning.
Remove immediately from pan onto a cooling rack. Let it cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Time 3h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ¾ cups warm water
2 tablespoons honey
¾ teaspoon active dry yeast
3 ½ cups whole wheat flour, or more as needed, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt

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.

50% Whole Wheat Bread image

Provided by KLV2993

Time 3h5m

Yield 1 large loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons molasses (or honey)
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour or 2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

Put the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed (and as accurately as possible).
Select the whole wheat bread cycle (usually takes 3 1/2 hours).
Remove from the pan when it's done and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
During the summer I reduce the yeast to 1 tsp because it seems to rise so much more during the summer than the winter. Or you could increase the salt slightly (salt kills the yeast so it doesn't rise out of the machine!) So if you're getting a really huge loaf (and some of you have) try one of these 2 things and it should be better for you. For some reason atmospheric pressure (which varies according to seasons) makes a difference in how a bread rises. Enjoy!
Thanks for all your great reviews! Another thing I've been doing to make this even healthier is adding 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed with the flour. It doesn't really change the flavour but adds some good for you omega 3s!
