How to Make Moist Light Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the oil and eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, vital wheat gluten, dough enhancer, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
  9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
