Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's puffy and nearly doubled in bulk.
Gently deflate the dough, shape it into a log, and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch bread pan.
Cover the pan with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, till it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes, tenting it lightly with aluminum foil for the final 20 minutes of baking.

Provided by cook from scratch

Time 3h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

13 ounces lukewarm water (reduce this bread by 2 T if you are making in the summer, when there is more humidity in the air)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup Baker's Special Dry Milk or 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 1/2 cups king arthur white whole wheat flour (can sub 1 c King Arthur High-maize Natural Fiber) or 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (can sub 1 c King Arthur High-maize Natural Fiber)
2 teaspoons instant yeast

Steps:

Combine all ingredients and mix and knead, by hand, mixer or bread machine until you've made a smooth, fairly stiff (but not dry) dough. Place in a lightly greased bowl, covered and allow to rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until its expanded a bit. It won't have doubled in size, but should feel puffy when you squeeze it.
Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Gently shape the dough into a smooth log, there's no need to punch it down, just stretch and round it to fit in the pan. Place it in the pan, smooth side up, cover the pan and allow it to rise for about 30-45 minutes, till it crowns over the rim by an inch or so. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center registers 190F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove it from the oven, and turn out of the pan onto a rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
