Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

Whole Wheat Bread

From crestonchicky 15 years ago

Awesome and easy bread to make. I was tired of buying the flat skinny crap from the grocery store, so i made my own!!! mmmmmm

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add warm milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Divide into thirds; roll each into a 12-in. rope. Braid ropes; place in a greased 8-1/2-in. x 4-1/2-in. x 2-1/2-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Remove from pan and brush with melted butter. Cool on a wire rack.

I was making a different recipe, when I realized that it was not 100% whole wheat, so I switched to yours (main diff. being I had used all butter and canned evap. milk), I'd nearly given up on 100% whole wheat bread, and this saved me! Best I've made yet :) Thanks for putting this up.
