Alright, this was the last of my wild weekend that began with panettone and also included the white bread. I've made this again since then, and received some pretty amazing reactions from people at work. I didn't think this was anything particularly special, but my coworkers were raving about it.
The bread isn't hard or tough like a whole wheat bread, but it still has the same great flavor. It's incredibly light and airy like any other typical sandwich bread. I suppose I'll get on with this post, then! There's not too much to this bread, so it'll be another pretty quick post.
The dry ingredients were a mix of whole wheat and bread flour, about one-third whole wheat flour, salt, powdered milk and yeast. The wet ingredients were honey, shortening and water. Mix 'em up, knead it well and let it rise.
After the first rise, shape it into a loaf shape and let it rise again in the loaf pan.
Bake for somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour, and voila! This was one of my most perfectly shaped loaves in some time.
I have an upcoming food day at work where we'll be grilling burgers and hot dogs, so I've decided to make the buns. These were just a bit small, but still just long enough for a hot dog. Good show!
I also attempted to make kaiser rolls the second time, but they looked more like blooming flowers than kaiser rolls, so no pictures of those. Bleh!
Light Wheat Bread? Check.
Next? Casatiello.
i want to see the kaiser rolls!!!! :P
