Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Side Dish
Servings: 16 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups nonfat milk, lukewarm 105°F -115°F
  • 1/4 cup orange or apple juice
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet instant yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose white flour

Instructions

  • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Do not taste or eat any raw dough or batter made with uncooked flour and/or raw eggs.
  • Grease the sides and bottom of an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan with cooking spray or spread with butter.
  • Combine the lukewarm nonfat milk, juice, and honey in a large bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Beat vigorously for 3 minutes. Dough will be very thick.
  • Spread the dough into the prepared pan. Cover the pan with a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45-75 minutes, until almost double. Time varies according to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350º F when dough is almost doubled.
  • Remove towel and bake bread for about 30 minutes. Dough will pull away from sides of pan when bread is done. The internal temperature of the bread should be 190°F.
  • Remove bread from the oven. Transfer to wire rack and cool for 20 minutes. Then turn out bread onto rack and let completely cool before slicing.
  • Store bread on the countertop in a plastic bag or wrapped in foil to keep it from going stale; however, the crust will soften due to trapped moisture.

Notes

  • Make 2 smaller loaves using half-sized loaf pans. Bake for 23-27 minutes.
  • Make herb dinner rolls. Mix 4 teaspoons of dried herbs such as oregano, parsley, basil, rosemary, or thyme into the batter. Use muffin tins and bake 15 minutes.
  • Make 100% whole wheat bread. Use 3 cups whole wheat flour instead of white and wheat flour and 3 tablespoons molasses instead of honey.
  • Heat cold milk in microwave for 45-60 seconds for lukewarm temperature. Test a drop on the inside of your wrist. It should feel very warm but not hot.
  • Keep whole wheat flour in refrigerator or freezer for storage. Bring flour to room temperature to make bread.
  • Instant yeast is also called fast-rising, rapid rise, quick rise, and bread machine yeast.
