Title: Honey Whole Wheat For The Large Panasonic Model
Categories: Low fat, Bread, Machine
Yield: 4 servings
1 1/2 ts Salt
3 c Whole wheat flour
1/2 c Unbleached white flour
1/3 c Corn meal (I use masa
-harina)
2 tb Gluten
3 tb Nonfat dry milk
1/3 c Honey
1 1/2 c Water
1 tb Yeast
This recipe is for bread machines, in particular, the 1-1/2 lb
Panasonic machine.
Place all ingredient except yeast in the pan. Place yeast in the
dispenser. Program for Whole Wheat (for dark crusty crust) or Basic
Bread (lighter crust) and press start. Wait 3-4 hours. This makes a
2 lb loaf.
I find Red Star Active Dry Yeast to be the best. When I was
actively baking, I'd get it in 2 lb packs from the wholesale
warehouse stores and keep it in the refrigerator (much cheaper that
way). Adding gluten (vital wheat gluten or gluten flour, not
hi-gluten flour) to whole wheat breads really helps a lot. The bran
in whole wheat bread inhibits the formation of the long protein
gluten strands that trap gas bubbles and give bread its spongyness.
Adding more gluten to compensate makes whole wheat breads lighter.
Try 1-4 tb per loaf.
