Whole Wheat Bread
Ingredients:
Four cups of 100% stone grounded whole wheat flour, organic preferably
One cup of wheat bran
Two and 1/2 teaspoons of instant yeast
Two teaspoons of salt
Four cups of warm water, about 80 degrees Fahrenheit
Direction:
In a bowl or bread mixer, combine wheat flour, wheat bran, yeast, and salt. Mix. Add the warm water slowly while mixing using a bead mixer or wooden spoon until you finish all the water. The dough should be sticky and soft.
Oil the oven pan of your choice, 2 of the 9”x 5” nonstick loaf pan preferably. Place the dough into the pans.
Let the dough sit in a warm place, preferably in a non-heated oven, for about an hour or two hours until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 385 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the bread pan in the middle rack and let bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until it turns brown and becomes hard.
Remove from the oven and set on the breathable surface, brush the bread with extra virgin olive oil (optional) and let cool to room temperature. Enjoy!
