BROWN BREAD

1 1/2 c. water (warm)
3 pkgs. dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm milk
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. molasses
1 egg
3 tbsp. sugar
6 c. flour
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. salt
1/4 c. butter (melted)

Dissolve yeast in warm water, add sugar, milk, honey, molasses, melted butter, egg. Mix well in mixer; gradually add flour and salt. Remove from mixer and knead well. Reserve 1 cup of white flour for kneading. Let rise until double in bulk.

Knead down, adding flour if needed and let rise again until doubled. Remember that the more flour added, the heavier the bread will be so try to use as little flour as possible for best results.

Form into loaves and bake in greased loaf pans or free form at 375°F for 35 minutes.

Make 3 loaves.

Breads made with or containing whole grains have more beneficial fiber and other nutrients than those that are not. Substitute oil (canola, corn, safflower or sunflower) for the melted butter and use skim milk. For added nutrition, add up to 1/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder and 1-2 tablespoons of oat bran and/or wheat germ.

Beth (Indiana) says:

I love this bread! I used my Kitchenaid to make it, and it took about 2 cups more flour than the recipe called for, but if you pay attention to the consistency it is not a problem. Let the dough tell you what it needs, not the recipe... It kneaded in the mixer (with a dough hook) for a long time (probably about 10 minutes - I did not track the time) but it formed a nice gluteny texture and the bread baked WONDERFULLY. I coated the pans with Baker's Secret spray and the loaves slid right out. The texture of the bread was light and the crust was perfect. This will become a standard bread in our kitchen. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
