LAUREL'S KITCHEN WHOLE WHEAT QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Grease an 8"x4 1/2" loaf pan.
• Mix oil and molasses together.
• Beat the large egg and buttermilk together, then add the oil and molasses mixture.
• Measure your dry ingredients into a large bowl, and stir them until thoroughly blended.
• Chop the cashews coarsely.
• Make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
• Stir just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistene. The mix will be quite moist.
• Fold in the chopped nuts reserving a couple of tablespoons for the top.
• Put mix in the loaf pan, and sprinkle the reserved nuts on top.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.

EASY 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a stand-mixer bowl until mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add half the whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixture. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until incorporated. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix with a dough hook attachment on low speed, slowly adding the remaining whole wheat flour, increasing the speed to high. Mix on high until the batter is combined and not sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Flour a surface to work the dough.
• Place the dough onto the floured work surface and shape into a loaf. Use more flour if necessary. Place into the prepared loaf pan.
• Let shaped dough sit in a warm place until it has risen over the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until top of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cool an additional hour before slicing; otherwise it will feel doughy.

OATMEAL WHOLE WHEAT QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Grind oatmeal in a food processor or blender. In a large bowl, combine oatmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve honey in vegetable oil then stir in the milk. Combine both mixtures and stir until a soft dough is formed. Form the dough into a ball and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
