100% Whole Wheat Bread For Bread Machine
Ingredients
REGULAR LOAF
1 cup water
2 ½ cups wheat bread flour
1 ¼ tablespoons dry milk
1 teaspoon Salt
1 ½ tablespoons butter
1 ¼ tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon gluten
2 teaspoons molasses
1 ½ teaspoons fast-rise yeast or 2 teaspoons active-dry yeast
LARGE LOAF
1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons water
3 ¾ cups wheat bread flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 ½ tablespoons gluten
1 tablespoon molasses
2 ⅛ teaspoons fast-rise yeast or 3 teaspoons active-dry yeast
Method
The trick to making 100% whole wheat bread in your machine is an extra knead, which gives the yeast and gluten a second chance to create a lighter loaf. When your first knead cycle is completed, simply reset the machine and start again. Some manufacturers produce home bakeries with a whole wheat cycle; if your machine doesn't have one, this start- again method works as an easy alternative.
SUCCESS HINTS:
The gluten gives the whole wheat flour the structure necessary for a good loaf. If your market doesn't stock wheat gluten, try your local health food store. Remember the extra knead. It's especially important in 100% whole wheat bread. Because of the extra knead, use this recipe only on the regular bake cycle.
