Wheat bread

Wheat Bread Recipe

Yield 1 loaf

Ingredients:

1 pkg yeast
1/2 cup luke warm water 
3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp honey

1/2 cup milk ( 2 tbsp powdered milk and 1/2 cup of water = 1/2 cup of milk)

2 Tbsp oil or butter

2 eggs (4 Tbsp egg powder + 8 Tbsp water)

In a large mixing bowl sprinkle yeast over the warm water & let stand about 10 min. Stir to dissolve. Add oil/butter, honey, salt, milk, eggs and combine. Add the flour one cup at at time. Place on a well floured mixing board and add flour until manageable for kneading. Knead 20-30 minutes or until the dough springs back when you stick your finger into it.

Place in a oiled bowl, turning the dough so all surfaces are greased. Cover and let rise in a warm area until doubled in bulk. Punch down and place in oiled bread pan. Let rise until double and bake at 375 for 35-45 min.

If you want to eat your bread when it's still warm, the best way to easily remove the bread from the pan is to use liquid lecithin to grease the pan, either by itself or mixed with a litlle oil. This will allow you to remove the bread immediately after it comes out of the oven, so you can spread the butter and enjoy!
