Whole wheat bread recipe

Whole wheat bread recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/8 cups (227g to 255g) lukewarm water

  • 1/4 cup (50g) vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey, molasses, or maple syrup

  • 3 1/2 cups (397g) King Arthur Premium 100% Whole Wheat Flour, White Whole Wheat Flour, or Organic White Whole Wheat Flour

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast, or 1 packet active dry yeast dissolved in 2 tablespoons of the water in the recipe

  • 1/4 cup (35g) Baker's Special Dry Milk or nonfat dried milk

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir until the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl. For easiest, most effective kneading, let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes in the bowl; this gives the flour a chance to absorb some of the liquid, and the bran to soften. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface, oil your hands, and knead it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to become smooth and supple. (You may also knead this dough in an electric mixer or food processor, or in a bread machine programmed for "dough" or "manual.") Note: This dough should be soft, yet still firm enough to knead. Adjust its consistency with additional water or flour, if necessary.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl or large measuring cup, cover it, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and shape it into an 8" log. Place the log in a lightly greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan, cover the pan loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the bread to rise for about 1 to 2 hours, or till the center has crowned about 1" above the rim of the pan. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting it lightly with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent over-browning. The finished loaf will register 190°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center.

Poppy seed chicken casserole

Ingredients for Poppy Seed Chicken Classic Poppy Seed Chicken is made with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, LOTS of butter and Ritz crackers and is served over rice. This version starts by making homemade cream of chicken–don’t worry it only takes a takes a few minutes to make and the difference in quality is tremendous! And instead of the plain rice on the side, I chose to mix the rice right into the creamy sauce–that way this casserole is more hearty and the rice has so much more flavor! To make this casserole you will need: Leftover Chicken –Use Rotisserie Chicken, Instant Pot Roasted Chicken, Instant Pot Chicken Breasts, or Oven Roasted Chicken Breasts Cooked Rice –Both brown rice or white rice work. In fact, even quinoa works well. Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup –which just requires butter, flour, chicken stock, and a few seasonings. Butter Crackers –Ritz crackers are standard, but I like to purchase organic butter crackers that are free from hydrogenated oils....
