EMILY'S GREAT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD RECIPE

Katje reminded me I mentioned this recipe in a post but did not give th4e details.

Here is Emily’s no fail wheat bread recipe. I do not know the source of this but it does work even here. This bread does rise and this recipe makes 4 loaves of whole wheat bread, made from your finely ground whole wheat flour.

COMBINE in a mixer (like a Bosch) :
4 cups warm water
4 cups whole-wheat flour
Mix on low speed until combined

ADD:
1/4 cup SAF instant yeast
Mix and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes

ADD;
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon sea salt
1/2 cup oil

MIX on low speed. Add 4 – 6 cups of whole-wheat flour (one cup at a time) until it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, - smooth but still tacky. Knead with mixer on medium speed for six minutes.
Turn on oven to 350 degrees

Wet hands or coat with butter so the dough does not stick when forming the loaves. Spray bread pans. Form loaves and let them rise until they are 1/2 or 1” above the top of the bread pan.

BAKE at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Take the loaves out of the bread pan and let cool.

Mahlzeit! Love, Dad

This is actually my friends recipe. Natalie made it each week for the family as a value project last summer. It came out great for her every time. The key is not adding too much flour--add till pulls away from sides of bowl. I am using a different recipe now that I like the texture better, but it is a little more temperamental. This one is a great no fail recipe!

I need to try this recipe! They redesigned the Bosch mixer this year and I might have to buy one...
