Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod

Servings: 2 loaves bread

Ingredients

  • 6 1/2-7 cups whole wheat flour divided
  • 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten find it at Whole Foods, Bob's Red Mill, King Arthur, etc.
  • 2 packets of yeast I used rapid rise
  • 2 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl (preferably a KitchenAid), add 3 cups of the flour, wheat gluten, and yeast. Stir. Add in warm water and stir until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the oil, honey, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture after the 10 minutes. Mix until combined. Add in the additional flour and mix. Now knead the dough for ten minutes with the dough hook. When it is done divide the dough into two loaves. Make sure they are even. Shape them into loaf form. Place the dough into 2 loaf pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. After the loaves have risen, bake them for 30 minutes. They should be golden brown. Let cool before slicing, if you can wait:) You can freeze one of the loaves if you wish.
