Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
-
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1 large egg
-
1/2 cup canola oil
-
1/2 cup maple syrup
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
3 cups whole wheat flour
-
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add egg, oil, syrup, salt, whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
-
2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch dough down. Shape into loaves. Place in three greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 40 minutes. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Brush with melted butter.
