Wheat Bread
Ashley Lake
1/3 cup plus 1 tbs brown sugar
2 cups warm water
2 packages active dry yeast
5-6 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup powdered milk
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Dissolve 1 tbs brown sugar in warm water in small bowl. Add yeast and let mixture stand.
Place 4 cups of flour (I do 3 cups whole wheat and 1 cup white), powdered milk, and salt in mixer bowl. Attatch bowl and PowerKnead Spiral Dough Hook to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds. Continuing on speed 2, gradually add yeast mixture and oil to flour mixture and mix about 1 1/2 minutes longer. Stop and scrape bowl if necessary.
Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour 1/2 of cup at a time (I do 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup wheat. Sometimes I add a little more than a cup so it is not so sticky), and mix about 2 minutes or until dough starts to clean sides of bowl. Knead on speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.
Place dough in a greased bowl, turing to grease top. Cover. Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each loaf and put in pan (makes 2 loaves). Cover and let rise for an hour or untildoubled in bulk.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 and bake 20 to 30 minutes longer ( I do exactly 20 minutes and it turns out perfect you will just have to watch it I guess). Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
Enjoy!:) Let me know if you have any questions and if it turns out!
