Even though my soaping didn't go as planned this weekend, I was able to bang out some good looking bread! This is my favorite go to recipe for sandwich bread when I don't feel like running to the store, and I have time on my hands...
Ingredients:
4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten
1 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 c warm water
1/4 c honey
2 tbsp Olive oil or melted butter
2 and 1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
This is EASY if you have a nice big mixer, like a Kitchenaide mixer. Dump everything into the bowl. Seriously. Using the dough hook, mix on low until you get a nice even dough ball. I take it out and squish it around for a few minutes to be sure everything is uniformly mixed in. Then put back in the mixer and let it mix with the dough hook for a good 5-10 minutes. While this is mixing, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Get two bread pans and grease well with your choice oil/butter/spray etc. Divide the dough ball into 2 and shape into loaf pans. Set on top of the oven or in a warm spot, cover with a damp kitchen towel and leave alone until double in size. It takes about 45 minutes for me on the top of my stove. Then bake for 30-40 minutes depending on your oven. The hardest part is now. Take them out on a cooling rack and leave alone until completely cool. Otherwise you will 1) Burn yourself by eating it, 2) not be able to slice it well with a knife, 3) Wish you waited at least an hour to sit back and enjoy the results.
