Whole Wheat Bread With Honey & Molasses

Whole Wheat Bread With Honey & Molasses

• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 Tbsp oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp molasses
• 1/2 Tbsp salt
• 4 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 Tbsp Vital Wheat Gluten
• 1/2 Tbsp yeast

Put the ingredients in order into the bread machine pan (see tips below), and press the dough setting.  

Tips

*Set the ¼ cup of honey into the hot water in the bread machine to help ease it out. *And use the same tablespoon for the molasses that you used first with the oil - it will just make life easier.

When finished, roll out the dough into a rectangle, approx. 10×12 inches.  If using small loaf pans, split this dough in half and roll to the appropriate size for your pan.

Roll the dough up long ways, and pinch the ends together. Put in a greased loaf pan, and let rise for 45 min – 1 hour.

Bake at 350* for 45 min. (30-40 min. for smaller loaves)

*You can rub butter on top right after it comes out of the oven for a softer crust.
