I’ve always been afraid of making bread…it’s intimidating, at least for me! But my mom recently visited and brought us some of her homemeade strawberry jam (my fav) and since then I’ve been craving some fresh homemeade bread to eat it with.
This Homemade Wheat Bread recipe seemed as easy as bread-making gets. It really was easy, and oh so good.
Homemade Wheat Bread : A slightly sweet, healthy half-whole-wheat bread
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F)
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons instant active dry yeast
Instructions:
*Combine first 6 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; stir.
Add flours and yeast, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Punch dough down; knead for a few minutes until smooth and then form into a loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and cover. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. If loaf starts browning too soon, lightly lay a pice of foil on top of the loaf to prevent too much darkening.
Remove bread from oven and allow to rest in pan for a few minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cover with a cloth. Slice and enjoy while still warm!
