Honey whole wheat for the large panasonic model

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ teaspoon Salt
3 cups Whole wheat flour
½ cup Unbleached white flour
⅓ cup Cornmeal (I use masa
Harina)
2 tablespoons Gluten
3 tablespoons Nonfat dry milk
⅓ cup Honey
1½ cup Water
1 tablespoon Yeast

Directions

This recipe is for bread machines, in particular, the 1½ 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 2lb packs from the wholesale warehouse stores and keep it in the frige (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 T per loaf. Date: Mon, 13 Sep 93 03:18:35 PDT From: Michelle Dick <artemis>
