Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 40 min.
  • Yield: 32 Servings
20 40 60

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 3 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Add the oil, sugar, molasses, salt and remaining water. Combine flours; add 3 cups flour to mixture. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into a loaf. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices).

Great bread! I used brown sugar instead of white. We will be making it again.

This bread is delicious. I substituted whole milk for the water and used half the canola oil and the other half real butter. WOW...We will be making it again and again.

Turned out great and it sliced easily and didn't crumble- good for making sandwiches!

This is now the only basic wheat bread we will be making at our house. It is moist and flavorful and it's easy to see why the recipe has been passed on over time!

One note though - I only have to bake this for 30-35 min for it to be well done.
