Soaked Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
05:43, 2009-Feb-28 .. 4 comments <%CommentAuthorIP%> .. Link

I took my own bread recipe and converted it to a recipe where I soaked the flour for 24 hours first and then made the bread the next day. I have done this 3 times now and think I have some success. You can see my two loaves that I made yesterday…

I have had several comments left with people asking for this recipe when I get done so here goes…

Soaked Whole Wheat Bread Recipe – 2 loaves

1 ½ cups warm water
2T whey
½ cup olive oil
5 ½ cups freshly ground whole wheat flour

Using a mixer combine the above ingredients until they form a ball of dough. Place dough ball in an oiled pan and cover. Let sit for 24 hours.

After 24 hours

In a measuring cup combine the following:

½ cup warm water
1T yeast
¼ cup honey

Let this sit until the yeast bubbles. Then add:

½ t baking soda
2 t salt

Pour this mixture into your mixing bowl. Add 1 cup white flour. Now add your dough ball. I break it up as I add it to the bowl. Begin kneading. This can take a few minutes to get it all incorporated. If the dough still seems sticky add more white flour. I added a total of about 1 ¼ cups (this includes the 1 cup I added to the bowl with the yeast). Knead for about 4 minutes in a Bosch, longer if you are using a Kitchen Aid. Let rise for 1 ½ hours. Punch down and knead for a few minutes more. Divide into two bread pans. Let rise.

I found it rose pretty quickly. You can let it rise till it reaches just above the top of the pan. I actually think the loaves above rose a little to much. I let them rise until they were about one inch above the bread pan. Next time I will try baking when they just get above the top of the bread pan.

Bake at 350 for 28 to 30 minutes.

I think someone else is due the credit for that link - I’d have to take credit for something I didn’t do ;(
