Stephanie's Honey Whole Wheat Bread

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Ingredients:

• 6 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup gluten flour
• 1 ¼ Tbsp active dry yeast
• 2 ½ cups hot water
• 2/3 cup honey (may use 1/3 also, but the more the better)
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 ¼ Tbsp lemon juice (enhances dough)
• 1 Tbsp salt

Tips: follow the directions exactly. Gluten flour needs to be refrigerated to keep freshness.

Directions:

• Grease 2 bread pans using non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine 3 cups of wheat flour, gluten, yeast and warm water. Mix for 1 minute. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Add salt, oil, honey and lemon juice. Mix for 1 minute. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time.
• Mix for 10 minutes. While dough is mixing, turn oven to warm (200 degrees).
• Turn oven off when dough is done mixing.
• Place dough on greased counter. Divide to make loaves and place in greased pans.
• Place pans in warm oven and let rise (double in size, about 30 – 40 minutes).
• Bake on 350 degrees for 20 – 30 minutes or until tops have browned.

*optional: brush butter on top of baked loaves as soon as you take out of the oven. Not only does it add flavor but it keeps the tops soft and not hard and crunchy. Spray butter works well too (that is what I use – no fat, but all the flavor).

Thanks Steph!
