Personal recipe for a great whole wheat "sandwich" bread that is soft and flavorful. Makes 3 loaves.
Measure Oats into a big bowl (large enough for all of the bread ingredients to mix and raise) and pour in boiling water, stir till water is evenly distributed. Let sit for about 10-20 minutes to absorb water and cool, stir intermittently then let cool on the counter. When the oat mixture is cooler than body temperature, add Buttermilk, melted butter, sugar, molasses, salt and 2 cups of bread flour.
In a one cup liquid measure mix 1T brown sugar, yeast and warm water, and let sit till doubled. (if it doesn't double in 10 minutes or so, your yeast is likely dead and you'll need fresh yeast)
Stir yeast mixture into the "Big Bowl". Start mixing in whole wheat flour add until dough is reasonably dry and hard to stir. Turn out on to a well floured counter to knead. Knead thoroughly on a floured surface. Put the finished dough back into the bowl, cover with a cotton towel or plastic wrap and let raise until doubled. Punch down form into 3 loaves and place in greased bread pans. Then let rise again.
Pre-heat oven to 350.
Lightly slit loaves down the middle just before they go into the pre-heated oven.
Bake in 350 degree oven till brown and bottoms sound hollow. Approx 25-35 minutes.
The variable amount of whole wheat flour allows for different flour moisture levels and local humidity to balance your dough. The buttermilk and butter create a softer smoother finer crumb for a more "sandwich" texture bread. The Molasses and Maple syrup give a warm rich flavor to the bread that plain sugar cannot do, You can adjust these variables and ingredients to create a bread that works best for you.
Rise times and baking times will be somewhat variable depending on your home and your oven.
