Whole Wheat Wild Rice Bread Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 32 Servings

20 40 60

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup honey
2 cups cooked wild rice

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the water, milk, butter and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in the wild rice and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
