Honey Whole Wheat Bread
This is not a fast, easy recipe, but if you like to make nutritious bread, this is for you. Making good bread takes practice, so keep trying. Be sure to knead it long enough. Like most baked goods, this bread is great right out of the oven.
In microwave-safe bowl, microwave dry rolled oats mixed with water to about 120 F to 130 F. In mixer bowl of a heavy stand mixer with dough hook, combine whole-wheat flour, soy flour, ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal, seeds, yeast, and salt. Stir to mix.
Add applesauce, honey and oil. Mix by hand. Add the hot rolled oats mixture. Mix by hand.
When blended, start mixing with dough hook of mixer and continue for about 3 minutes. Slowly add white flour until dough comes away from sides of bowl and becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover dough in bowl and place in a warm spot. Let rise until about double in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Punch dough down. Turn onto countertop. Divide evenly into 4 pieces. Shape into 4 loaves. Place in 2 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pans that have been generously sprayed with cooking spray.
Cover and place in a warm spot. Allow to rise until nearly double in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes, or until tops of loaves are golden. Remove from pans and cool on rack. Cut into half-inch-wide slices.
