Cindys Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

How to make it

---

• Put water is a large glass bowl; add yeast and stir to dissolve.
• Add brown sugar, gluten and whole wheat graham flour; beat well, about 300 strokes.
• Let yeast develop for about 10 minutes.
• Add oil and salt; mix thoroughly.
• Add 2 cups of the bread flour and beat well; work in enough of the remaining bread flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Place in large oiled bowl and turn to coat.
• Cover bowl with a clean towel; let rise in a warm, draft free place about one hour, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough.
• Divide dough into two equal pieces and form each piece into a loaf.
• Place in greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pans.
• Cover and let rise about 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled.
• While dough is rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bake loaves for about 35 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
• Do not overbake.
• Bread is done when it slips easily from the pan and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Let cool on wire racks.
