Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon or pk Dry Yeast
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 2/3 cups Whole-wheat flour*
- 7/8 cup Warm Water
Preparation
1) Stir yeast and honey into warm water. Let stand in warm place for 10 minutes.
2) Add salt and flour gradually to the yeast mixture. If flour does not completely dampen, add a small amount of extra water.
3) Turn dough onto a surface which has been lightly floured with white flour.
4) Knead for 5 minutes (can be kneaded in bread machine with dough cycle or with mixer with doughhook). Place dough in buttered bowl; cover with damp cloth. Allow dough to rise until doubled in volume (1 - 1 hours). Putting the dough in a warm oven will hasten the rising.
5) Roll dough to inch thickness. Cut into rounds or shape into buns or loaves.
6) Place on a greased cookies sheet and mark in fourths to make a cross.
7) Bake at 350 farenheit for 10 - 15 minutes depending on thickness
Notes: *Make sure Whole Wheat Flour is fresh. It goes rancid quite easily, giving the bread a noticeable "off" taste. Rancid Flour smells - Fresh Flour has not noticeable smell.
You can also use White Flour instead of the Whole Wheat flour or use half White and and half Whole Wheat. You'll get the same results.
This bread doesn't make a lot of crumbs when broken.
