Jenn hit the nail on the head with her comment on my previous post. The beauty of this recipe is that it only dirties the mixer, bread pans, one kettle, and the measuring cups/spoons.
Here's the recipe straight out of the More with Less Cookbook:
(I'll add my two cents at the end.)
Combine in large mixer bowl:
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 T salt
3 pkg dry yeast
Heat in saucepan until very warm (120-130 degrees):
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1/2 cup oil
Add to dry ingredients:
warmed liquids
2 eggs
Blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in by hand.
Add 5-6 cups white flour
Use enough flour to form a stiff batter.
Cover and let rise until double.
Stir down and spoon into 2 greased 9x5 inch bread pans.
Let rise 20-30 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
I wouldn't consider this a true whole wheat recipe since there's more white flour than wheat. At the point where you add 5-6 cups white flour, if I have enough wheat flour I use 2-3 cups wheat flour instead. It never hurts to sprinkle wheat bran in either.
The first thing I do is start heating the milk, water, and oil. While that's heating I combine the first ingredients in the mixer. That way I don't have to wait for the liquids to warm up.
When we are out of milk or running low, I use powdered milk. Works like a charm and is cheaper.
Happy baking everyone!
