HOMEMADE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD CRUMBS



Homemade Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs image

I couldn't find 100% whole wheat bread crumbs in my local supermarket, so I decided to make my own. Easy and delicious! I'll never buy store-bought again. Store in zip-top storage bags or plastic containers in a freezer for long-term storage.

MOIST, LIGHT, & FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Moist, Light, & Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread image

After trying Kim's (my sister-in-law) moist wheat bread, I HAD to have the recipe! It was delish! You HAVE to follow this recipe to a "T" if you want it to be moist, light, & fluffy... Don't substitute or skip any of the ingredients. I had to order the SAF yeast and Dough Enhancer from www.beprepared.com (which took a few days to get delivered, but it was worth it). The vital wheat gluten is VITAL! This is the best whole wheat bread I've ever eaten - even better than specialty bread store's bread!

Time 40m

Yield 3 loaves, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -9 cups whole wheat flour (divided)
1 1/2 tablespoons saf instant yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons dough enhancer
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups warm water (114* - 116*)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use light-tasting olive oil)
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon liquid lecithin (found at health food stores)

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
  • In the mixer bowl (I mix mine in a Bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
  • Add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
  • Beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (About 3 minutes.)
  • Place the dough hook on the mixer.
  • Gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. Continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
  • Place in PAM-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with PAM and allow to rise for about one hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 350* and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • ** If you don't use all white-wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **You can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. I prefer using all white wheat flour or 1/2 white wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.

LIGHT-AND-CRISP WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD CRUMBS



Light-and-Crisp Whole-Wheat Bread Crumbs image

Homemade bread crumbs are one of those "chef’s secrets"-an important but often overlooked detail that can make a dish. These easy-to-make crumbs are flaky, mild, and versatile-they don’t have that heavy whole-wheat taste and dense texture that most store-bought brands have. Since bread crumbs are a comfort-food cornerstone used in everything from cutlet coatings to casserole toppings, it’s key to have the best.
