- Ready In:
- 4hrs 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
3 Loafs
ingredients
- 17 ounces warm water
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 26 ounces whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 ounce sugar
- 3⁄4 ounce non-fat powdered milk
- 1 ounce vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 ounce salt
directions
- Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of water or, if you are using dry yeast, bloom the yeast as the package instructs.
- Using the 1 or 2 setting on your stand mixer with the dough hook attachment in place, add the water and yeast to the bowl of your mixer.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Once the dough is formed to a smooth dough, turn it out onto your work surface.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover and place in a warm draft free location.
- When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down by pushing your fist into the center of the dough.
- Let it rise again and take it out of the bowl. Separate into 3 1-pound loaves. You can place the loaves into loaf pans if you like.
- Let the bread proof until doubled in size again. Putting them in an oven that has not been turned on is a good place for this.
- Take the proofed loaves out of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- I like to egg wash the bread and then slash it, but you can skip the wash if you like.
- Bake until golden brown.

I tried this recipe with skepticism, and I was correct to be skeptical. I just took two smallish loaves out of the oven. I'm sure they will be very edible. However, the nutrition facts and amount of dough given in this recipe is very confusing. First of all, it is impossible to make 3 one-pound loaves when the dough only weighs a little over 2 pounds. I don't know how to make that magic happen. I ended up making 2 smallish loaves in standard 9x5 loaf pans. I calculated the calories and there were approx 2,500 in the basic dough. I fiddled around with the amount of loaves, the amount of slices, etc. and could never figure out how it came out to what is noted in the nutrition. I will just slice it really thin, if possible. It smells really good and will be eaten. I will continue my search for a lighter WW bread. -
This recipe dose not work to much flower -
I think this is a pretty good recipe for whole wheat bread. It's simple enough for anyone, and the taste is great, everyone who tried it loved it! I think I'm gonna stick to this recipe for a while.
