I am the official breadmaker in our household. I developed this recipe to meet Jenny's longing for 100% whole wheat bread that was not too brick-like. Gluten flour, Vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) and lecithin granules can all be found at bulk or health food stores that cater to bakers. They are dough conditioners that allow organic or stone ground whole wheat flour to make a reasonably light loaf. Of course, it will still not be as light as commercial white loaves - you wouldn't want it to be! Be sure to use hard, or bread, flour, and not a soft pastry type flour. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups water |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons lecithin granules |
4 1/4 cups hard whole wheat flour |
1/3 cup dark brown sugar |
3 tablespoons skim milk powder |
1/3 cup gluten flour |
1/4 teaspoon vitamin c powder (ascorbic acid) |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons yeast |
Directions:
1. Place all the ingredients in a bread machine with a 2 lb loaf capacity.
2. Put the ingredients into the pan more-or-less in the order given- wet ingredients first, yeast last.
3. This will allow you to use a timer if desired.
4. Use the whole wheat setting on the bread machine to bake the bread.
5. (cooking times will vary according to your bread machine)
