My parents have a wheat grinder and my Dad has been trying to find the perfect whole wheat bread recipe. We gave this recipe a try & it turned out great! It was delicious & made 3 huge loaves. Great recipe for food storage!Ingredients:
4 cups water
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar or honey
3 tsp. salt
2 pkg. dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
12 cups whole wheat flour (or use 1/2 white 1/2 wheat flour) *We did 11 cups wheat 1 cup white
Directions:
Combine ingredients in the left column and cool to lukewarm. Mix yeast & water. Let sit for 15-20 minutes then add to other mixture. Add 3 cups flour at a time as you mix & knead it in. When all flour is added; knead well. You may need to add more flour until dough is not very sticky. Let rise in bowl, punch down and knead. Separate into 3 equal parts of dough. Knead into loaf shape and put into greased bread pans. Cover with cloth and rise until double. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes. Brush tops of loaves with butter after baking. Turn out onto towel to cool. (use medium-large size loaf pan)
