Best Food Processor Honey Wheat Bread Recipes

HONEY WHEAT BREAD I

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
• Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
• Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Add ingredients according to the manufacturer's directions to your bread machine. Use the wheat bread cycle and light color setting.

HONEY WHEAT BREAD WITH ZOOM

Steps:

• Blend oil, honey and warm water in large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and let stand 3 minutes. Stir in Krusteaz Zoom Cereal, whole wheat flour and salt. Add 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and salt. Stir vigorously 1 minute. Add enough remaining flour to make an easy to handle dough.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 12-15 minutes or until smooth and elastic, but not sticky. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to lightly coat all sides. Cover with a cloth.
• Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until double in size (about 1 hour). Punch dough down.
• Shape dough into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Cover with a cloth and let rise again until double in size (about 45 minutes).
• Bake at 375 degrees F 35-45 minutes or until ground brown and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove bread from pan to wire rack; cool.
• BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS.
• (For a 1 1/2 - 2 lb loaf capacity machine).
• Place all ingredients in bread pan, adding yeast last. (Some machines may require a yeast adjustment.) Select regular or whole wheat cycle. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan to wire rack; cool.

JANE'S TOTALLY WHEAT BREAD (USING FOOD PROCESSOR)

Steps:

• Proof yeast in warm water.
• Add brown sugar, salt and applesauce to yeast.
• Place flour and wheat gluten into the bowl of a large food processor and process briefly to mix. (Check your food processor manual to make sure your processor is powerful enough to process bread dough and to determine how much flour your processor can handle. If necessary, process this recipe in two batches). I use a 14 cup Cuisinart processor. (Note: vital wheat gluten is available in bulk or boxes at health food stores).
• Add oil to processor and process briefly to mix. .
• Start processor and slowly pour liquid through the feed tube. You may need more or less liquid depending on the type of flour and the humidity. Within about 30 to 60 seconds the mixture should form a ball. If it doesn't, add more water or flour (whichever is necessary) for the dough to form a ball. After the dough forms a ball, process for an additional 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and elastic. Do not overprocess because processing causes the dough to heat up and it might heat up so much that you kill the yeast. When making 100 percent whole wheat bread in my processor, it helps to use a dinner knife to "premix" the dough. Pour the liquid into the bowl (without the processor running) and mix briefly with a dull knife until most of the flour is moistened. Then process as above.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and form into a ball. This is your opportunity to ensure that the dough has the proper ratio of flour to liquid.
• Place dough into a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface of the dough with the oil. Cover with kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled.
• Turn risen dough out onto lightly floured board and knead a few times. Cut dough in half and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll half of dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Turn board so long edge of rectangle is facing you. Fold right half over middle and press with fingers to seal. Fold left half over middle (so the "new rectangle" is as wide as your bread pan) and seal. Roll (beginning at narrow side) tightly, pressing as you go with your fingers to seal well. Pinch ends and tuck under loaf.
• Place in a greased loaf pan (8 inches by 4 1/4 inches by 2 1/2 inces). Oil the top of the loaf.
• Cover with a kitchen towel or loose plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled.
• Bake at 325 degrees F until done. This takes about 29 minutes in my oven.
• Turn out and let cool on a rack.
