Whole Grain Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 -10 ounces water
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 -2 egg (optional)
2 2 tablespoons oil or 2 tablespoons lard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 -8 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white bread flour
1 tablespoon gluten, see note (optional)
1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) packet yeast
Preparation
-
Put 4 oz (1/2C) water in bread pan. Add powdered milk and let it sink down into the water. Mix eggs with remaining water to total 6 oz, so that there is 10 oz (4 oz+6 oz) (1.25C) total of water and egg. Add other ingredients in order given and start the machine; powdered or fresh milk cycle makes no difference, at least with my machine.
I use WW bread flour if I can find it and eliminate the gluten; the website didn't allow WW bread flour as an ingredient.
And sometimes I use heavier flours such as rye and spelt, substituting up to one cup of the WW flour with them. With those flours and with regular WW flour I add 1T gluten to help the loaf rise.
