Grandma Cornishs Whole Wheat Potato Bread Recipes

WHOLE-WHEAT CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Make the dough.
• Measure out 1 1/4 cups very warm water and check the temperature; it should be 120 degrees F to 130 degrees F. Combine both flours, the dry milk, egg, canola oil, honey, salt, yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix 3 minutes on the lowest setting, then increase to the next highest setting and mix 5 more minutes. The dough should be soft and sticky.
• Let it rise.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough has nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Soak the raisins.
• Dry raisins will rob moisture from the bread, so soak them first in boiling water until plump, about 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Fold the dough.
• Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Picture it as a loose square. Lift up one side of the dough and fold about one-third of it across; press down on the dough with spread fingers to remove any air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining 3 sides of the dough.
• Add the filling.
• Mist two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide the dough in half; roll out each half into an 8-inch square. Brush each square with canola oil, then sprinkle with the cinnamon (it's high in antioxidants!), brown sugar and raisins.
• Form the loaves.
• Roll up each square of dough into a tight cylinder; place seam-side down in the prepared pans. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough fills the pans and springs back when touched, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Bake the bread.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the loaves with canola oil and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the pans and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT & POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• In stand mixer or other large bowl, add whole wheat flour, potato flakes, buttermilk powder, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
• Add softened butter, water, and eggs. Attach dough hook to mixer and mix on low speed until moistened. Add enough flour to make a soft dough (dough should come away from sides and cling to hook when using a stand mixer). Add water or flour as needed. Knead at manufacturer recommended speed 7 to 8 minutes or until elastic.
• Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl, or add oil to stand mixer dough and coat dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or cover and let rise in a warm area until double in bulk (1 to 1.5 hours).
• For loaf bread, divide dough in half and use your hand to flatten each piece into a 6 x 10 or 7 x 9 rectangle. Tightly roll up each piece and place in coated loaf pan. For sandwich rolls, divide dough into 16 pieces and shape as desired. Cover and let rise 30 to 60 minutes or until double in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) Bake loaf bread 40 minutes and rolls about 20 minutes or until browned. Internal temperature should be between 190° to 200°F (88° - 93°C). Remove from pan and cool loaf bread 30 to 60 minutes before slicing.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Combine powder, soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal and flour in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and eggs in a bowl. Place your iron skillet in the oven and put the 2 tablespoons butter into the skillet to melt. (You can substitute a 8x8 pyrex but it's not the same) Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Then add the melted butter. The batter should be lumpy and just a bit on the dry side. Pour this mixture into the hot iron skillet then bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted into it comes out just shy of clean. The primary difference in this recipe is the addition of the sugar. It makes a a sweeter recipe. I also increase the cornmeal and decrease the flour because I like my cornbread to be a bit "cornier."
