Introduction

This whole wheat bread recipe I got from my local "Market Basket" store. It was on the back of the whole wheat flour package - so I thought I'd give it a try.

It actually came out perfect! I was very happy with the results. : )
The recipe says it makes 1 9x 5 loaf. So I figured it prob makes around 12 slices. (servings)

I'm sure if you sliced the bread really thin you could get even more servings.

Ingredients

    Yeast - 1 package Regular Active Dry (1/4oz)
    Warm Water - (110-115 f) 1 1/2 cups
    Sugar - 1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon
    Salt - 1 1/2 teaspoons
    Butter, Margarine or Oil - 2 tablespoons ( I used canola Oil)
    Whole Wheat Flour - 2 1/2 Cups
    All Purpose flour - 1 1/2 Cups

Directions

Dissolve the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar in 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes. Mix the 1/4 cup sugar, 2 TBSP of butter, margarine OR oil, and the 1 1/2 teaspoon salt with the remaining 1 1/4 cups of warm water.

Combine the whole wheat flour & all purpose flour in a mixing bowl & stir with a spoon to blend.

Make a well in the center of the flour & pour the 2 liquid mixtures into the well. With a spoon, blend the ingredients until a uniform dough ball is formed. Place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface & knead the dough for 5 - 10 minutes.

After kneading, place the dough ball in an oiled mixing bowl, turning the dough so all sides are coated with oil.

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth & place in a warm spot (80 - 85 f) for 30 - 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray, butter or margarine. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and, with your hands, gently flatten the dough to get a rectangular shape, keeping the width slightly less than the width of the loaf pan. Use a rolling pin to finish flattening the dough to 3/8" to 1/2" thick. Be careful to not make the dough piece too wide.

Starting with one of the narrow ends, roll the dough tightly to create a loaf sealing the seam with your fingers. Place the loaf, seam side down, into the greased loaf pan. Cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm spot ( 80 - 85 f ) for 30 - 45 minutes.
Uncover the loaf & place in a 400 f oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 350 f and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the top. Immediately remove from the pan & allow to cool.
