Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups hot water (~100 F)
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp milk powder
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive (or vegetable) oil
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 4-5 cups whole wheat flour
Instructions:
- Warm the water then place in a mixing bowl with the dough hook attachment. Sprinkle in the yeast. Allow to proof for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add milk powder, honey, oil and salt. Stir to combine. Add whole wheat flour about a cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
- Form into a ball and allow to rise for 30 minutes until doubled. Optionally punch down and allow to rise for another 30 minutes. Oil a bread pan and shape the dough into it. Allow to rise in the pan for 30 minutes. Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes. (Optionally replace some or all of the milk powder with 2-4 tbsp of wheat gluten.)
