I've been looking for a soft all whole wheat bread, and I finally found it! This is in an Amish cookbook that I have, and I am writing it as it is written. I mix it with my KitchenAid. :) This is our sandwich bread that we have all the time on hand and the recipe can easily be cut into 1/3 to make just one loaf. :) 10/8/07 Corrections made to make bigger loaves. I usually use recipe #185778 to have a great rise.

Ingredients

60 serv.
  • warm water3 cups

    110-115 degrees

  • sugar1 teaspoon
  • yeast2 tablespoons
  • eggs3
  • honey3⁄4 cup
  • Crisco (butter flavored)3⁄4 cup
  • salt2 tablespoons
  • whole wheat flour11 -12 cups
  • wheat gluten4 tablespoons

    optional

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Mix water with yeast and sugar and let sit until foamy (about 10 minutes). In the meanwhile, put the 3 eggs (in the shell) in a bowl of hot water (to bring the eggs to room temperature).

  2. 2

    Put flour, salt, and gluten in bowl.

  3. 3

    Pour in yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add in honey, eggs, and crisco until combined, scraping sides. (I usually use an egg beater for this).

  4. 4

    Add more wheat flour and knead until smooth.

  5. 5

    Let set in warm place for about an hour until double in size.

  6. 6

    Divide into 3 loaves. Let rise again in warm place until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours).

  7. 7

    Bake as regular bread (I bake about 35 minutes at 375 or until the interior of the bread is 190 degrees using electric thermometer if you have one).

  8. 8

    Enjoy!
