Kid Friendly Whole Wheat Bread image

I got this recipe from some Amish friends and adapted it a bit. My kids will get into the bread box like they're getting into the cookie jar!

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
4 c warm water
1/2 c softened butter
1/4 c molasses
1/2 c honey
2 tsp salt
6 c whole wheat flour
4 c all-purpose unbleached white flour
6 tsp vital wheat gluten

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve yeast into warm water. (I like to put the warm water in a large 4 cup glass measuring cup.)
  • 2. Combine butter, molasses, honey and salt. Mix well. Add yeast/water mixture.
  • 3. Mix flour and vital wheat gluten. I just stir them together with a fork. Add flour/gluten mixture gradually. Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in greased bowl and let rise until double. (If you don't have a warm oven go ahead and place it in a sunbeam on your counter.) You can cover this with plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick spray or non-stick foil.
  • 4. Punch down. Let dough rest a few minutes. Shape into 4 loaves. Place in greased bread pans. Let rise about 2 hour. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
  • 5. Gently remove loaves from pans and let cool on wire or wood racks. Butter tops or drizzle with honey and then butter tops.
