Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 12 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt (kosher salt is good)
- 1-1/2 tablespoon fructose
- 1 tablespoon baking yeast
- 3-3/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
Put the flour, salt and fructose in a warm bowl and mix
well. Blend the yeast with a little of the water, then stir
into the remaining water and add to the dry ingredients with
the oil.Mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a ligtly floured
surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Place in a,
Pam-sprayed bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a
warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size. Turn out
onto a floured surface and knead again for 5 minutes. Then
divide into 4 pieces. Fold each piece in thirds, then place
in greased warmed loaf pans. Cover with a damp cloth and
leave in a warm place for about 30 minutes until the dough
rises to the tops of the pans. Brush with oil and place in
a preheated 425′oven. Bake for 40 minutes. Turn out onto a
wire rack to cool. Makes 4-1 lb loaves
WW Baps–
Follow above recipe. Divide each quarter of dough used into
6 or 8 pieces and shape into round flat baps (buns). Place
on greased, warmed baking sheets and sprinkle with a little
whole wheat flour. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to
rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Bake in preheated 425′ oven for 15 minutes. Remove and wrap
immediately in a clean cloth; this will keep them soft by
trapping the steam as they cool.
Makes 24 baps, if using all four loaves of vegan bread.
Variation: Use 10 cups flour and 2 cups of your favorite
granola. I use a granola that has coconut shreds and sliced
almonds in it, and it is yummy.
Serves: 4 loaves, or 24 baps
Preparation time: 2 hours
