Best homemade whole wheat bread recipe. Very easy, healthy, and delicious whole wheat bread baked in an oven. What could be a more tantalizing and wonderful smell than the pervasive aroma of fresh bread baking in the oven? Or the nose-tickling scents of banana bread and bran muffins? What is more soul-satisfying than the nourishment of loaves made from the true grains of the earth?

In structure, the grain of wheat consists of concentric layers somewhat like the growth rings in a tree. Outside are the brown layers containing much indigestible but valuable fiber-the bran. In the center is the white endosperm which makes up 85% of the weight of the grain and contains most of the starch along with the less concentrated protein. At the base of the kernel, barely visible to the naked eye, is the tiny wheat germ or embryo from which a new wheat plant can grow. The wheat germ makes up only about 3% of the total weight of the grain but it is extremely rich in concentrated protein, fat, and several of the B vitamins.

Here are some examples of whole-wheat bread:

Whole Wheat Potato Bread Recipe

2 loaves

Ingredients: 1¾ cups unbleached white flour, 2 packages active dry yeast, 1 cup (250 ml) milk, 1/2 cup 9125 ml) water, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons clear honey, 1 tablespoon salt, 1½ cups seasoned mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup (125 ml) dairy sour cream, 1/2 cup minced yellow onion, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 5-6 cups whole wheat flour

Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, combine white flour and yeast. Stir well. In a small saucepan, heat milk, water, butter, honey, and salt over low heat until warm (120 F), stirring to blend.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mixture and beat until smooth. Add the potatoes, sour cream, onion, tarragon, and garlic powder. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the whole wheat flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; let reast4 minutes. Knead until smooth.

Cover with a lid and let rise in a warm place for about 45-50 minutes. Punch down. Divide the dough in half; shape it into 2 loaves. Place in 2 greased 8½-inch by 4½-inch pans. Let the dough rise again until almost doubled in volume, for about 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Turn off the oven. Remove baked loaves from the tins and transfer them to a wire rack. Brush the tops with vegetable oil while the bread is hot.
