I believe this may be my most perfect loaf yet! It reminded me of how much I LOVE making all our bread and how far I’ve come in the past few months.
I typically make it myself, I sometimes use the bread maker to mix for me but I don’t like the way it rises in the bread maker so I always take it out and bake it in a loaf pan in my own oven.
Here is my recipe: it’s modified to be a bit healthier (no oil) and you could always substitute all WW flour for the white that I use.
1 1/4 c warm water (110-120 degrees)
3 Tbs Honey
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c organic WW flour
1 1/2 c organic white flour
2 Tbs brown sugar
1/4-1/3 c flax seed meal
1 1/2 tsp yeast
Add the ingredients to your breadmaker, set to dough cycle, when complete, remove, knead lightly and place in a greased loaf pan and let rise to doubled in a warm place. Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 30 mins (until browned and sounds hollow when knocked).
So, after many months of looking for the best prices and the best recipe I can finally say that making my own bread is healthier AND less expensive!
If you haven’t tried it yet and you are inclined to do so – go for it! It’s so much healthier!
I seem to be very hit or miss with my bread making. I’d love to blame my machine but this one turned out a sticky doughy messs that the bread machine couldn’t have affected! *sigh* I’ll have to try the recipe again and see if I mis-measured.
