Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups warm water (105°-115°F.)
1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/4 cup molasses
5 to 6 cups whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup canola oil
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg white with 1 teaspoon water
3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats for sprinkling loaves

Steps:

  • In a small bowl stir together 1 3/4 cups warm water and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a measuring cup whisk together remaining 1/4 cup warm water and molasses. In a large bowl stir together 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and oil and add molasses and yeast mixtures, stirring until combined well. Stir in enough of remaining 3 to 4 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, for mixture to form a soft dough and turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic, and shape into a ball.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about
  • 1 hour. Punch down dough and let rise, covered, 45 minutes more.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and grease 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by
  • 2 inches.
  • Divide dough in half. Lightly knead each piece of dough and form into ovals. Transfer loaves to pans and let rise, covered with kitchen towels,
  • 45 minutes. Brush tops of loaves lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with oats. Bake loaves in middle of oven 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. and bake loaves 20 to 25 minutes more, or until golden brown. Turn loaves out onto a rack to cool.

I'm not a fan of the texture of this bread. It's a bit too dense for my taste.

This recipe is a great starting point for experimenting with different flavors. I've added things like nuts, seeds, and dried fruit to the dough, and it's always turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of the molasses in this recipe. I think it gives the bread a slightly bitter flavor.

I've tried many whole wheat bread recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's soft, moist, and has a delicious nutty flavor.

I love the addition of honey and molasses to this recipe. It gives the bread a slightly sweet flavor that is perfectly balanced by the whole wheat flour.
