I've been making my own bread lately, and I haven't heard the end of it from my sister Sara. Every time I cook for my family, she says something like, "You belong on a prairie" or "did you churn this butter yourself, too?" I know she's just jealous because my bread is so delicious, ha! Here's a recipe I found on allrecipes.com, and it worked out just dandy. It makes two loaves of the finest toast bread around:
Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup vegetable oil 5 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey, and stir well. Mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Work all-purpose flour in gradually. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. When dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well oiled bowl. Turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
Punch down the dough. Shape into two loaves, and place into two well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough is 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pans.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
