I've been tinkering around with whole wheat bread recipes for a while now. I started with Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day but really this crust is too hard for all the time. Then I found another blog with a wheat bread recipe that calls for all kinds of dough conditioners (vital wheat gluten, vinegar, potato flakes) and I thought I had found my recipe. Its really good, fairly dense but very moist and keeps pretty well (this is my normal problem with sliced bread, it dries out. I like to make three mini loafs instead of one big loaf and this helps it stay moist.). But, of course I can't leave well enough alone and was wandering around the King Arthur Flour website and found an interesting recipe. Orange juice, huh? This was fluffier than my other recipe. I just made it today so I can't say yet how it will keep, but this may be made frequently too.
I think my bread plan is to mostly make wheat bread but maybe once a week make some yummy white rolls. The kids really like even my homemade 100% wheat bread and they were never big on store bought wheat bread. Who knew?
