Mornings are really great and we have a lot of things to be thankful about. The family that we have, the goodly parents and the loving siblings and almost all the blessings are really best appreciated in our mornings. But nothing could be more wonderful about it than when we wake up each day seeing the same people that we are accustomed to love and the food that is being prepared on the table.
Bread has really played a great part in our mornings like a morning prayer and so I decided to share this Whole Wheat Bread recipe with you and we will all welcome a new tomorrow rising in our lives.
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
You will need:
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups all purpose flour
5 grams instant yeast
15 grams vegetable lard
1/2 cup water
35 grams brown sugar
2 grams molasses (for coloring, optional)
3 grams salt
Vegetable lard for greasing pan
Here's how:
1. In a mixing bowl, melt sugar in 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
2. In another mixing bowl, sift all flours.
3. Mix all ingredients, except 1/4 water and vegetable lard for greasing pans.
4. Add remaining water in small amount.
5. Pour in melted sugar until dough is made.
6. Knead dough until smooth or elastic texture is reached.
7. Cover with cloth and let rise for about 10 minutes.
8. Knead again for 3 minutes.
9. Divide in half. Form dough each and place them in lightly greased pan.
10. Let rise for about 60 to 90 minutes, or until dough rises to half an inch above pan.
11. Bake for about 60 minutes or longer at 200 degrees C, or until bread turns golden brown.
