Oatmeal Whole Wheat Quick Bread image

There's no yeast in this bread, so it's good for special diets. You may also use soy milk instead of regular milk if you wish. It's pretty dense, but great when fresh from the oven. Especially with butter and honey on cold mornings!

QUICK RISE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Quick Rise Whole Wheat Bread image

I attended a whole wheat bread making class at our extension office and this was the recipe that was prepared. I made it the very next day, turned out light, soft and wonderful! Just a note: this recipe uses "instant" yeast. Instant yeast is a quick rising yeast and does not need two risings to make excellent bread. I use SAF brand.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups hot water (about 120 degrees )
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter)
1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
7 -8 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten
1 -2 tablespoon instant yeast

Steps:

  • Add ingredients in the order listed to bread mixing bowl.
  • Using a dough hook, mix well and add more flour if needed so that the dough cleans the sides of the bowl (dough should be slightly tacky.
  • Knead for 10 minutes.
  • Shape into 2 to 3 loaves depending on the size of your pans. Add dough to sprayed pans.
  • Cover with tented plastic or cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 for the last half hour of rising. It is ready to go in the oven when the dough is doubled in bulk.
  • Turn oven down to 350 and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Take out of pans and let cool on wire rack.
  • Brush tops with melted butter to keep crusts soft.
  • additional ingredients may be added:.
  • Eggs:.
  • decrease water by 1/4 cup and add two beaten eggs. Eggs add flavor, liquid, color, structure, nutrients and tenderness to breads.
  • Cracked wheat:.
  • Add 1/2 cup uncooked cracked wheat for each 4 cups of flour. If using uncooked cracked wheat the bread will be somewhat crunchy. cooking the cracked wheat first will add a variety of texture without the crunch feel. Many people like to put oatlems or other cooked cereals into their bread. As a guidelin, use 1/2 cup or less per 4 cups of flour.
  • Potatoes:.
  • They add a sweet, rich flavor to breads. Add 1/2 cup to 4 cups flour and reduce water by 1/4 cup.

LAUREL'S KITCHEN WHOLE WHEAT QUICK BREAD



Laurel's Kitchen Whole Wheat Quick Bread image

I adapted this recipe from the Laurel's kitchen recipe. Not a sweet loaf, if you want to sweeten it up, add 6 tbsp brown sugar instead of the molasses. The original recipe calls for wheat germ, but I substituted ground flax seed for the wheat germ, and reduced the oil called for by half. This makes a nice high loaf in an 8" x 4 1/2" loaf pan.You can substitute any other favourite nut for the cashews.

1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
