HONEY WHEAT BREAD I

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
• Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
• Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.

ONE-RISE HONEY WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Grease a large loaf pan with butter, margarine, or shortening.
• Combine yeast, honey, warm water and melted butter/margarine in mixing bowl with a whisk. (if you grease your measuring cup for the honey, the honey will come out of it more easily).
• Stir the three types of flour into the honey/water/yeast mixture with a large spoon.
• Knead for ten minutes or until the dough feels soft and elastic. If you have a bread machine with a non-heated knead cycle - on mine it's the pasta dough cycle, you can let your bread machine do the kneading for you.
• Apply a little shortening/butter/oil to a large cutting board. After kneading, on the board, apply pressure to roll your dough into a smooth oblong bread shape a little shorter than the loaf pan. Place in greased loaf pan. Slit the top of the loaf down the middle with a sharp knife, not going quite all the way to the ends of the loaf.
• Preheat your oven just long enough to get it slightly warm (on mine this takes three minutes), then turn the oven OFF, and put the dough in for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, leave the dough in the oven, turn the oven on, set to 375 F, and set the timer for another 40 minutes.
• When the bread is done the top should be brown. Leave the bread in the pan and allow it to cool on a cooling rack. I recommend allowing the bread to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Also the loaf will set better and be less crumbly if you freeze it once before using it.
• TIPS: An alternative to all purpose flour is King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour. And if you want a more whole grain taste/texture, experiment with adding some wheat germ or oatmeal to the recipe.
