100% Whole Wheat Loaf Recipe
- 1 1/2 c. water
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 5 Tbsp. honey, molasses, or possibly maple syrup
- 3 1/2 c. white whole wheat flour">flour or possibly flour">flour from freshly grnd wheat berries, red or possibly white
- 1 Tbsp. Lora Brody Bread Dough Enhancer
- 1/4 c. sunflower seeds minced
- 1/4 c. walnuts minced
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp regular instant yeast
- In a large mixing bowl, or possibly in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all of the ingredients, mixing to create a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough by hand or possibly by machine, for 10 min.
- Allow it to rest for 10 min, then knead for an additional 10 min, until it's smooth and supple.
- The dough will seem very wet and slack at first; just keep mixing, and eventually it'll come together, though it will remain sticky.
- For the optimal rise, we recommend using either a bread machine (set on the dough setting) or possibly electric mixer to mix and knead this dough, with the bread machine being the first choice; kneading by hand will result in a smaller, denser loaf.
- Allow the dough to rise, in a greased, covered bowl, for 1 hour.
- Shape it into a log, and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch bread pan.
- Cover the pan (with a dough rising cover, or possibly lightly greased plastic wrap) and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, until it's crowned about 2 inches over the rim of the pan.
- Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 45 min, tenting it lightly with aluminum foil for the final 20 min of baking.
- Yield: 1 loaf.
