Whole Wheat Bread – Skimmermans (Lauren)
Lauren via Skidmores, Zimmermans
Yield: 2 large loaves
Mix in a bowl:
2 ½ c. whole wheat flour
2 TB + 2 tsp gluten (vital wheat gluten)
In mixer,
combine:
2 ¾ c. water (warm)
1 TB yeast
Let sit a few
minutes until you can see yeast activating (forming bubbles)

1/3 c. sugar (white, brown, or honey)
1/3 c. oil
Mix and let
rest 10 minutes.
Add:
1 TB salt
3 ½ c. flour
Add more flour
if needed in ¼ increments (usually you won’t need to)
Knead for 7
minutes (Bosch speed 2, Kitchen Aid equivalent)
Turn out of
bowl and divide into 2 large loaves.
Roll and place
into greased pans.
Rise 1 hour
(until 1-2” above rim if using 8x5, though if it doesn’t get that high, cook it
anyways after an hour)
Bake at 350
for 25-30
