Yummy Whole Wheat Bread

by

2011May3My family loves this healthy bread, especially toasted. With a breadmaker, it’s fast and simple to make.

1 pkg. yeast

1/8 tsp. ginger

2 1/2 C. bread flour

1 1/4 C. whole wheat flour

1/2 C. wheat germ

1 tsp. salt

3 T. honey

*1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk

2 T. lightly flavored olive oil

1/2 C. cracked wheat

1/2 C. boiling water

Instructions:

Cover the 1/2 C. cracked wheat with the boiling water in a small bowl. Stir and let cool.2011May3b

Put the rest of the ingredients in your breadmaker in the order suggested by your manufacturer, then the cooled cracked wheat.

Select white bread and push “Start.” Slice bread after cooling.

*Do-it-yourself evaporated milk
No need to pay a premium for those little cans of evaporated milk. Evaporated milk is simply fresh milk that has had about 60% of its water content removed. You can make your own in two minutes or less.

Just mix these ingredients:

  • 1 cup non-fat dry milk
  • 1  cup plus 2 T. water

Yield: 1 1/2 cups (in place of 12 ounce can)

Note: Without a breadmaker, you can hand knead, let the bread rise in warm area until doubled, punch down, then let rise another 35 minutes. Bake in two buttered loaf pans at 375 degrees 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Slice after cooling.

    We love Brenna’s bread recipe. I made it for a ladies event here in Nebraska and it was a big hit! It is very filling and yummy.
