Whole Wheat Bread - Phase 2

This recipe is specifically designed to go in your bread machine.  Follow your particular machine's instructions for wet/dry order.  I've constructed this recipe for the one I use which wants wet ingredients first.

1 1/3 c warm water
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp brown sugar*
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c vital wheat gluten (aka gluten flour)
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tbsp powdered non-fat milk

* Remember that for bread you must use real sugar or honey for the yeast to activate.
 
Add ingredients to your machine per manufacturer's directions.

I like to use my bread machine do everything for me but bake.  I preheat my oven to 375 degrees.  After my machine has gone through the mix/knead/rise cycles, I remove dough from machine and roll out with rolling pin and roll up into a log like cinnamon rolls.  I shape the log to fix my bread pan and then bake and let rise one last time for about 30 minutes.  Then I bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the top is just turning golden brown.


Suggested additions to your wheat bread:

Sunflower seeds
Wheat germ
Bran
Oatmeal
Nuts
Cinnamon
Dried fruit (legal for SBD, like apples)
