Wheat Bread
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp salt
- 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
- 2 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 pkg yeast
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 7-8 cups white flour
- Soften yeast in warm water.
- Put milk, sugars, salt in a sauce pan and scald milk.
- Cool to lukewarm and transfer to a big mixing bowl.
- Add yeast & water then add whole wheat flour. The dough will be sticky.
- Add white flour a little at a time until dough is springy and not sticky.
- Knead.
- Let rest 15 minutes.
- Divide into 3 loaves.
- Bake at 350-375 for 30-35 minutes.
- Tips: Milk is scalded when it starts to get a skin on top.
- Always knead dough on floured board or counter.
- Flour *always* gets on clothes and on the floor!
- Bread loaves are done if it is turned out of pan and it sounds hollow if tapped on the bottom with finger nails. If not done - flip back into pan & bake some more.
- Melted butter brushed on top of just baked bread keeps the crust soft, otherwise it gets hard & crunchy.
