Submitted by pmiker on November 17, 2015 at 8:43 pm
50/50 bread flour/whole grain. This is a soft, flavorful and somewhat sweet bread.
Yield: 4 loaves
Source: It's my own recipe.
Bread flour - 22 ounces (50%)
White Whole Wheat flour - 13.20 ounces (30%)
Whole Spelt flour - 8.80 ounces (20%)
Milk (water & nfd) - 28.05 ounces (63.75%)
Butter, unsalted (melted) - 3.00 ounces 6.8%)
Honey - 8.00 ounces ( 18.15%)
Salt - 0.80 ounces (1.80%)
Yeast, instant - 0.70 ounces (1.60%)
Mix the liquids (milk, butter and honey). Add flour, salt and yeast and continue mixing. Knead well. I kneaded about 8 minutes in an Ankarsrum mixer. Allow to double. This could take more than an hour depending on room temperature.
Divide into four 21 ounce parts and shape each part. For bread pans I used 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pans.
Pre-heat oven to 375F.
Allow to rise about one inch above the side of the pan. Slash each loaf and place into oven. Bake for 35 minutes. Cover with foil the last ten minutes. These loaves bake dark due to the honey.
Allow to cool and serve.
