WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water together in a liquid measuring cup. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Pour yeast mixture into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer (use the paddle attachment). Add buttermilk, oil, honey, and egg. Mix just long enough to combine.
• Add whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes.
• With mixer on medium-low, gradually add the bread flour.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. I like to tape a piece of parchment paper to my counter for easy clean-up.Knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place dough in a well-greased large bowl, turnng to coat it. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each piece out into a 15x8-inch rectangle. Starting at the narrow end, roll it up. Pinch the ends to seal and tuck them under.
• Place each loaf in a greased 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until sounds hollow when tapped. If bread is getting too browned, loosely cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.Remove loaves from pans and let cool.

BUTTERMILK HONEY WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, honey, oil, and buttermilk into pan of a bread machine.
• If baking in bread machine use medium temperature setting.
• If baking in an oven, use manual or dough cycle to knead dough. Remove from bread maker, and place in a greased loaf pan. Let rise until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 25 minutes, or until bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL BUTTERMILK BREAD

Steps:

• Fit a kneader blade on a heavy-duty stand mixer.
• Proof 1 tablespoon yeast in 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl add in 2 cups EACH white and whole wheat bread flour and the rolled oats; mix slightly to combine with a spoon.
• In the microwave warm the buttermilk, butter, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoons salt for about 40 seconds until warm (the butter does not have to melt completely) then pour into the stainless steel mixing bowl with the flour.
• After the yeast is proofed, add into the bowl along with the 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and start mixing/kneading adding in more WHITE flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (because of the oatmeal and whole wheat flour the dough will be more sticky than usual).
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Remove the dough to a lightly-floured surface; cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Gather up the dough and knead gently for about 15 seconds with your hands (it will come together nicely).
• Generously grease a large bowl with oil.
• Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and let rise for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (it might take more or less time depending on the temperature of your kitchen, or place in a warmed oven to rise).
• Remove and punch down dough.
• Place on a floured surface and roll out to about 14x8 inches (does not have to be exact size!).
• Roll up tightly and tuck the sides under to fit the 8x4-inch loaf pan (I just slice off the ends of the dough enough to fit into the pan and pinch the dough together, it makes for a more even loaf).
• Cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes (depending on how warm your kitchen is) in a warm place covered with a clean tea towel.
• Bake for about 30 minutes in a 375°F oven.

SEEDED WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread machine pan in order, or to the recommendation of your bread machine manufacturer. Make sure you make a well for the yeast on top.
• Select the Basic/White cycle (I like this better than the Whole Wheat cycle). Select Medium or Light crust color, according to your preferences (I use Light).
• Once baked, carefully slide bread out of bread machine pan, making sure to remove the dough blade. Cool on a wire rack.

THE VERY BEST WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together 3 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, and quick-rise yeast until well combined.
• Add the water and mix for one minute, scraping down bowl halfway through. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Uncover the bowl and add the salt, oil, honey, and lemon juice. Beat for 1 minute.
• Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing well between each cup. Knead the dough in the mixer (still using the dough hook) until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and feels smooth rather than sticky. This usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, but if your dough pulls away and loses its stickiness sooner, it could take as little as 5 minutes.
• Grease two nonstick bread pans measuring 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" to 9" x 5" x 3" each (or grease two regular bread pans and then line them with parchment paper). Preheat the oven to lukewarm by setting it to 350°F and then turning it back off after exactly 1 minute.
• Turn the dough onto a greased surface. Evenly divide it into two loaves. Form and place the dough into the prepared bread pans, gently pressing it into the corners.
• Place the pans in the warm oven and allow them to rise for 20 to 40 minutes, until the dough is nicely domed above the tops of the pans. Without removing the pans from the oven, turn on the oven to 350°F and set the timer for 30 minutes. The bread is done when the tops are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F to 200°F on an instant-read thermometer. Once the loaves are baked, immediately remove the hot bread from the pans to cool on a rack.

Add extra whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon at a time as necessary to firm up dough. If making by hand, mix all ingredients until combined, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 - 6 minutes, or until dough is elastic, adding a little whole wheat flour as necessary to bring dough together. If using a bread machine, add ingredients as per manufacturer's directions and set for Basic or White cycle.
• 4. After kneading, place bowl on top of oven, covering with a kitchen towel, for 20 minutes
• 5. Punch dough down and place into greased loaf pan. Allow to rise a second time for 20 minutes.
