How Do You Make Whole Wheat Bread?
Nothing is quite as nice as the smell and taste of freshly baked whole wheat bread. This recipe makes two loaves of great tasting bread. Try the option of refrigerating overnight to allow the yeast to mellow and develop a more complex flavor to the bread. Put the yeast, water and flour into your mixer. Use 3 cups of the flour and add the yeast. Add 2 cups of room temperature water. Use a dough hook to mix the water with the flour for about 30 seconds. The yeast should be dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients. First, add the salt, sugar and butter while continuing to mix. Then, add most of the flour, wheat gluten and dough conditioner.
