Best 5 Easy Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

EASY 100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast in a stand-mixer bowl until mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add half the whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixture. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until incorporated. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix with a dough hook attachment on low speed, slowly adding the remaining whole wheat flour, increasing the speed to high. Mix on high until the batter is combined and not sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Flour a surface to work the dough.
• Place the dough onto the floured work surface and shape into a loaf. Use more flour if necessary. Place into the prepared loaf pan.
• Let shaped dough sit in a warm place until it has risen over the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until top of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Let cool an additional hour before slicing; otherwise it will feel doughy.

EASY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Grease one or two loaf pans.
• In a large mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
• Heat the oil, milk, and water to 100-110 degrees.
• Add the warmed ingredients and egg to the bowl and blend at low speed until everything is evenly moistened. Beat 3 minutes more at medium speed. Using a dough hook stir in 2 1/2 - 3 cups flour.
• If you choose to make 2 loaves, divide the dough and let it rise in the greased pans,otherwise leave it in the bowl to rise and put the dough in the greased pan when your oven is preheated.
• Cover with plastic wrap or towel and place in a warm place (80-85 degrees), or put the covered dough on a rack over a pan of very hot water in the oven. The dough should double in about one hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake for 30- 40 minutes. Remove it from the pans and cool on a baker's rack.

EASY HOMEMADE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Using a 2-cup glass measuring cup dissolve the yeast in the water. Add the honey. Let stand until foamy, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the olive oil.
• In a stand mixer equipped with the dough hook attachment blend the whole-wheat flour, 1¼ cup of the all-purpose flour, and the salt until combined.
• Pour in the yeast mixture and mix on low speed until the dough forms a ball. The dough should be slightly sticky; if it is too wet, add some of the remaining all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time (you can also use a food processor, or, just a bowl and a wooden spatula). Empty your dough on a well-oiled bench and knead it until it is not sticky anymore. Shape the dough into a ball and turn it over in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
• After the first rise, punch down the dough to deflate it and knead briefly again on a lightly oiled bench or surface to shape into a smooth, 10-inch-long oblong loaf. Place the dough in a greased 10"x5" loaf pan. Cover loosely with a cloth and let it proof again until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat oven to 375° F. Brush the top of the bread loaf lightly with the egg white. Sprinkle some sea salt and sesame seeds, if using. With a sharp knife, cut three, ½-inch-deep slashes on top of the loaf. (This slashing is necessary to release some of the trapped gas, which can deform your bread. It also makes the top of your bread look attractive.)
• Place a small pan (e.g., an 8" cake pan) filled with 1 cup of water in the corner of the lowest shelf in the oven. Slide the bread loaf pan right onto the middle rack of the oven and close the oven door (the steam from the water in the small pan will help to keep the oven moist and allow the bread to rise more, instead of forming a crust right away.)
• Bake the loaf for about 30 minutes, or, until the top is a deep golden brown (the internal temperature of the bread will be around 190°F). When you remove the loaf from the oven, you will hear it crackle for a while. In baking terms, this is called "singing" and it is exactly what you want. Place on a rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and enjoying. This bread is even better the next day, sliced and toasted, as it brings out the nutty flavor of the whole wheat flour!
