How to Make Soft 100 Whole Wheat Bread
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl (or your stand mixer bowl), combine all ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be wet initially, don't worry!
- **First Rest:** Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 20 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate.
- **Knead the Dough:** Knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic. (If using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead on medium-low speed for 5-10 minutes until smooth). If using a bread machine, set it to the dough cycle.
- **First Rise:** Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- **Shape the Loaf:** Gently deflate the risen dough. Shape it into a log and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan (or two smaller pans).
- **Second Rise:** Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes, until the dough crowns about 2 inches above the rim of the pan.
- **Preheat & Prepare:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about halfway through the second rise.
- **Optional Topping:** Brush the top of the loaf with milk or egg white, and sprinkle with oatmeal, poppy seeds, or other desired toppings.
- **Bake:** Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is deeply browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- **Cool:** Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
