How to Make Carmen's Healthy Whole Wheat Bread
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sorghum (if using), all-purpose flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the oil and flaxseed meal and mix until incorporated.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
