I have been making this bread for a few months now and it is delicious. I have been substituting half the wheat flour for white flour to ease my family into wheat bread.
Honey Whole Wheat Bread
(From the Kitchen of Katrina Smith)
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 T vital wheat glutten (find it at Maceys)
2 packets of yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
In a large mixing bowl (I use my KitchenAid), add the 3 cups flour, wheat gluten, and yest. Stir. Add in warm water and stir until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 T lemon juice or vinegar
1 T salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups whole wheat flour (I use white flour)
Mix the oil, honey, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture after the 10 minutes. Mix until combined. Add in the additional flour and mix. Now knead the dough for ten minutes with the dough hook of the mixer. When it is done divide the dough into two loaves. Make sure they are even. Shape them into loaf form. Place the dough into 2 loaf pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. After the loaves have risen, bake them for 30 minutes. They should be golden brown. Let cool before slicing, if you can wait:) You can freeze on of the loaves if you wish.
