100% Wheat Bread Recipe

Author: Lydia @ ThriftyFrugalMom.com

Ingredients

  • 10 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
  • 5 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 2 Tbsp. lecithin, powdered
  • 2 Tbsp. dough enhancer or powdered wheat gluten (see Notes for links)
  • 4 Tbsp. yeast
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2/3 cup oil
  • extra whole wheat flour I usually need to add about another cup

Instructions

  • Dissolve yeast in water and pour into mixer bowl.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to mixer bowl.
  • Mix on speed 1 for 5 minutes, then turn to speed 2 and add flour until dough pulls away from bowl. (For me, I’ve found that one extra cup usually is about the right amount.)*
  • Knead for 5 more minutes.
  • Shape loaves, place in well-greased bread pans and let rise until not quite doubled.
  • Bake at 340 degrees for 22-25 min.

Notes

  • Dough Enhancer and Wheat Gluten
  • This recipe is for a Bosch mixer, so the instructions are for that, however, you should easily be able to adapt it to other mixers or simply just knead it by hand.
  • Bosch mixers only have 3 speeds, so speed 1 is low and speed 2 is medium. If you use a Kitchen Aid or other mixer, hopefully, that will help you know what to turn your mixer to.
  • YIELD: 5 larger loaves or 6 smaller loaves (I do 6 smaller)
