High Rising Whole Wheat Commercial Yeast Bread Recipes

HIGH RISING WHOLE WHEAT COMMERCIAL YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Make the sponge:.
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl large enough to accomodate the sponge doubling in volume. Mix well.
• Spread the remaining flour over the top of the sponge as a blanket but do not mix into the sponge.
• Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature one hour and then refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• To make the dough:.
• Remove the sponge and let warm for 1 hour. Mix the blanket in to make a very ragged dough.
• Cover and rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature to hydrate all the flour.
• In a cup, mix the egg and oil together well using a fork and add to sponge.
• Add the remainder of the ingredients and place in the mixing bowl of a standing mixer.
• Mix on medium-low speed with the dough hook for 8 minutes, adjusting with small amounts of water or flour until a slightly sticky dough is formed. Slightly sticky means that a small amount of dough will stick to a dry finger when poked. The dough should form a ball and clean the sides of the bowl.
• Continue mixing until the dough can be stretched to form a thin film that doesn't easily break.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and form a ball.
• Place in a lightly oiled container and let rise for 40 minutes at 80F or until the volume has doubled. I have a hot water tank in a closet that stays at 80°F I set the dough on the heater.
• Gently divide in half and shape 2 loaves either in a free standing form or 2 oiled loaf pans (8 1/2 x4 1/2 inch).
• Let rise until doubled in volume.
• Preheat oven to 450°F along with a pan on the floor of the oven for water.
• Place the loaves in the oven and add 1 cup of hot water to the pan.
• Drop temperature to 375F and cook for 50 minutes or until loaves are 205F internally or hollow sounding when thumped. Rotate the loaves after 20 minutes in the oven for uniform baking.
• Alternate method: Place the loaf pans in a large roaster pan that has been preheated in the oven to 450F with a tight fitting lid.

QUICK RISE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Add ingredients in the order listed to bread mixing bowl.
• Using a dough hook, mix well and add more flour if needed so that the dough cleans the sides of the bowl (dough should be slightly tacky.
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Shape into 2 to 3 loaves depending on the size of your pans. Add dough to sprayed pans.
• Cover with tented plastic or cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 for the last half hour of rising. It is ready to go in the oven when the dough is doubled in bulk.
• Turn oven down to 350 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Take out of pans and let cool on wire rack.
• Brush tops with melted butter to keep crusts soft.
• additional ingredients may be added:.
• Eggs:.
• decrease water by 1/4 cup and add two beaten eggs. Eggs add flavor, liquid, color, structure, nutrients and tenderness to breads.
• Cracked wheat:.
• Add 1/2 cup uncooked cracked wheat for each 4 cups of flour. If using uncooked cracked wheat the bread will be somewhat crunchy. cooking the cracked wheat first will add a variety of texture without the crunch feel. Many people like to put oatlems or other cooked cereals into their bread. As a guidelin, use 1/2 cup or less per 4 cups of flour.
• Potatoes:.
• They add a sweet, rich flavor to breads. Add 1/2 cup to 4 cups flour and reduce water by 1/4 cup.

WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the water, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, until the yeast has bloomed.
• NOTE: It may be tempting to use all whole wheat flour in this recipe, but, in our testing, that method resulted in dense, tough, squat breads that barely rose when we tried to proof them. Using some all-purpose flour was necessary to give us the rise and soft, pillowy texture we wanted in a good sandwich bread.
• Pour in the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oil, and salt, and mix until the dough comes together in a ball that does not stick to your fingers.
• NOTE: You can also do the first 2 steps in a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, mixing on low speed until the dough no longer sticks to the sides.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it really starts to form a tight ball.
• Form the dough into a ball shape and transfer to a greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it in grease. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a wet towel and store in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Allow the dough to proof until it has doubled in size. Save the plastic wrap or towel as you'll be using it again.
• Transfer the proofed dough to a lightly floured surface and press the dough - don't stretch - into a 7x7-inch (18x18 cm) square.
• Fold the top 3rd of the square down, and the bottom 3rd up to form an even rectangle. Pinch the top fold to seal the dough.
• Roll the dough over so that the seal faces upward and fold both ends up toward the center, so that the dough has formed an even log shape about the size of your loaf pan.
• Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan and cover with with the same plastic wrap or towel used before.
• Let the dough rise for 1 hour, until it has poofed over the edge of the loaf pan about 1½ inches (4 cm).
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap or towel and transfer to the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the dough has browned slightly and formed a light brown crust.
• Immediately remove the loaf from the pan and set aside to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
• Store in an airtight container or bag. The bread can be stored in freezer up to 6 months.
• Enjoy!

BASIC WHOLE WHEAT YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Saltolyse
• Mix the flour, salt, and 390g of the water. Cover and let the dough hydrate for 20-60 minutes. Longer is okay too.
• Yeast Prep and Mixing
• Combine the instant yeast, a pinch of sugar, and 35g water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. You can use 100-110F water if you want to further boost its activity. This step isn't necessary for making instant yeast work well, but I find the yeast mixes in more evenly when it's hydrated.
• Pour the bloomed yeast over the saltolysed dough. Squish it into the dough with your hand, and knead and slap and fold the dough until it's fully incorporated.
• Note the level of the dough in your bowl or make an aliquot jar with a small piece of the dough, marking the level with a rubberband.
• Cover the dough and let it rest 20 minutes.
• Gluten Development and First Rise
• Laminate the dough on a clean, damp surface. Be gentle but expect some tearing as you stretch the dough out because it's early in the development of gluten.
• Fold up the dough, return it to the bowl, cover, and let it rest another 20 minutes.
• Laminate the dough a second time, then let it continue rising in the covered bowl until it has roughly doubled. In warm summer months, this is about 20 more minutes or an hour total since mixing in the yeast. In a cold kitchen, this could be two hours since mixing the yeast, and in that scenario, you might want to add in a round of coil folding 20 minutes after the second lamination.
• Preheat, Pre-Shaping, Shaping, and Final Proof
• In warm seasons, begin preheating the oven and baking vessel to 500F as soon as the dough is finished with the first rise. In cold seasons, you might wait to preheat until after the shaping the dough.
• Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a well floured countertop and pre-shape it into a tight ball. Cover with your bowl and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Shape the dough to suit the shape of your proofing basket and baking vessel.
• Place the dough seam-side up in your floured proofing basket.
• Cover and let rise again for 15-30 minutes depending on your room temperature.
• Baking
• Flip the dough out of the proofing basket and onto a sheet of parchment paper or onto the base of your hot baking vessel. Score the dough, then cover and return the vessel to the oven.
• If your baking vessel is a ceramic cloche, bake at:
• 500°F for 20 minutes, lid on
• 450°F for 10-15 minutes, lid off
• If your baking vessel is cast iron, bake at:
• 500°F for 15 minutes, lid on. At the 15-minute mark, place a baking sheet directly under the cast iron on the same shelf. This will prevent the base of the bread from burning.
• 450°F for 5 minutes, lid on
• 450°F for 10-15 minutes, lid off
• When baking is complete, the bread should have an internal temperature over 205F and it should sound hollow when you knock on the bottom of the loaf.
• Let the bread cool for at least a couple of hours before you slice it.
