100% Whole Wheat Bread

Recipe

One of my goal's this year has been to make my own bread.  I don't have a bread maker so I knew that this was going to be mixing and kneading my little heart out until I created this amazing loaf.  Where to start?  I found this nifty little recipe for 100% Whole Wheat Bread on the back of the Rapid Yeast package.. so I figured that they "might" know a little something about what they're talking about.

This prompted me to move along and boogie down to the bread making!  ;)

Gather your ingredients, ladies and gent's!

Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour

Vegetable Oil

Honey

Salt

Rapid Rising Yeast

Milk

Water

Please refer to the above for the recipe.

Bake It

 Combine milk, honey, salt, oil, and water on medium to low heat until warm.

Combine dry ingredients (use only 3/4's of the total of the overall flour usage first- refer to recipe- you'll add in the rest later)

When wet ingredients are sufficient, mix in slowly to dry ingredients.  Refer to recipe for amount usage.

Flour up your space 'cause you're going to do some kneading! 

***Tip for proper kneading***  Make sure hands are dry and then apply a small amount of flour to hands so you can handle the dough without it sticking to you.. your fingers.. your hair.. you get it.  ;)

Take your rolling pin and stretch the dough out into 12 x 7 and then roll up starting from the short end.  Fold in sides and then lay in coated baking dish (or bread pan) with the seam on the bottom.

Now, this was the part I did not see on the package- You MUST let it rest and rise before baking it for about 30-60 minutes. 

Bake It

Once it's doubled in size, plop it into the oven for about 30-60 minutes.
