Whole Wheat Bread+Heart Healthy
Ingredients
- 3 cups warm water 200°F, no warmer
- 2 Tbsp yeast
- 2 Tbsp Lecithin
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 7 cups whole wheat flour approximately
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer put water, yeast, lecithin, avocado oil, and honey. Mix with the paddle mixing tool until barely combined. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to let the yeast activate.
- Add in the salt; mix. Add 4 cups of flour and mix until the dough mixture is smooth. Add more flour until the dough forms a ball and comes clean from the bowl. The amount will be determined by the humidity in the air. To make the 3 loaves of bread, use about 7 cups of flour. Replace the paddle mixing tool with the kneading tool. Let the mixer knead for about 6-8 minutes.
- Place dough in a well oiled large bowl to rise. Cover with non-stick parchment paper and a towel. It will take about 45-60 minutes to rise. Punch the dough down and work all the air out of the dough.
- Divide the dough into thirds and form into loaves. Use a food scale to be precise. Place in prepared loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick spray and let rise about 20-30- minutes or until the dough has risen above the edge of the pans. Bake in a 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature is 160 degrees. Let cool for about 15 minutes and then turn out on a rack to cool.
- Store in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to a week. Or freeze for up to 4 months.
