Amish Soft Honey Whole Wheat Bread image

I've been looking for a soft all whole wheat bread, and I finally found it! This is in an Amish cookbook that I have, and I am writing it as it is written. I mix it with my KitchenAid. :) This is our sandwich bread that we have all the time on hand and the recipe can easily be cut into 1/3 to make just one loaf. :) 10/8/07 Corrections made to make bigger loaves. I usually use recipe #185778 to have a great rise.

Time 3h30m

Yield 3 loaves, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons yeast
3 eggs
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup Crisco (I use butter flavored)
2 tablespoons salt
11 -12 cups whole wheat flour
4 tablespoons wheat gluten (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix water with yeast and sugar and let sit until foamy (about 10 minutes). In the meanwhile, put the 3 eggs (in the shell) in a bowl of hot water (to bring the eggs to room temperature).
  • Put flour, salt, and gluten in bowl.
  • Pour in yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add in honey, eggs, and crisco until combined, scraping sides. (I usually use an egg beater for this).
  • Add more wheat flour and knead until smooth.
  • Let set in warm place for about an hour until double in size.
  • Divide into 3 loaves. Let rise again in warm place until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours).
  • Bake as regular bread (I bake about 35 minutes at 375 or until the interior of the bread is 190 degrees using electric thermometer if you have one).
  • Enjoy!
