Whole Wheat Bread

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD


1 tablespoon yeast

1⁄4 cup warm water

21⁄2 cups hot tap water

7 cups whole wheat flour (or any

combination of whole wheat

and white flour)

1⁄2 tablespoon salt

1⁄3 cup oil

1⁄3 cup sugar

In a small bowl, mix the yeast

into the warm water (adding a half

teaspoon of sugar will help it

grow). In a mixing bowl, blend the

hot tap water with about half of

the flour. Add salt, oil, and sugar

to mixture. Mix until well blended.

Add prepared yeast mixture. Add

the rest of the flour to make the

dough just stiff enough to clean

the sides of the bowl. Knead on

low mixer setting for 10 minutes.

On a slightly oiled counter, divide

the dough into two equal portions,

cover with a damp towel,

and let rise until double in size.

Shape loaves and place in greased

loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a

warm place until dough has doubled

in size again. Bake at 350o F

for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes two

loaves.
