This 100% whole wheat bread is light and delicious, and takes about 2 hours from start to finish.
You'll need...
  • 6-7 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1½ tablespoons yeast
  • 1½ cups warm water (130º)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • ¼ cup oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Here's what to do...
  1. Combine 4 c. flour and yeast and stir well.
  2. Add lemon juice to milk and stir.
  3. Pour lemon/milk mixture and warm water into flour mixture and stir until all flour has been moistened.
  4. Allow dough to sit for 15 minutes (it should begin to bubble/rise - this is called the sponge)
  5. Add oil, honey and salt and stir until well blended.
  6. Add remaining flour ½ c. at a time until dough forms ball and cleans side of the bowl.
  7. Knead 4-5 minutes with a stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand.
  8. Divide dough into 2 portions. Shape into two loaves and place in greased bread pans.
  9. Let the dough rise in a warm place until almost double; usually about one hour. Bake in 350º oven for 35 minutes, or until top and sides are nicely browned. Remove from pans immediately and allow to cool on cooling racks.
