I just take regular bread recipes and substitute half of the white flour for whole wheat. But here's a couple I've liked. And check out www.thefreshloaf.com. I really really really like their website. :) Lots of good bread tips.
NGREDIENTS:
* 1 (.25 ounce) package rapid rise yeast * 1 teaspoon white sugar * 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) * 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk * 1/4 cup water * 1/4 cup melted shortening * 1/4 cup honey * 2 teaspoons salt * 2 cups whole wheat flour * 3 cups bread flour * 2 tablespoons butter
DIRECTIONS:
1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. 2. Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add white flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled. 3. Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes. 4. Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.
White Bread (can substitute at least half the flour for wheat)
2 heaped teaspoons powdered yeast 4 tsp liquid honey 1 egg 2 and 1/2 cups warm water 3 cups of white flour Mix liquids together and beast in yeast and sifted flour. set to rise in a warm place for between 30 - 60 minutes (I put it on the oven on very low)
2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons oil 3 cups white flour Mix in salt and oil Fold in sifted flour
Turn ono a floured surface, adding more flour as necessary. Knead for at least 10 minutes, until dough feels smooth and pliable
Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover wiht a damp cloth and set in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 - 50 minutes)
Punch dough down and turn onto board. Cut dough into 2 equal pieces, and then each of those into 3 (6 pieces total).
Roll each piece into strips and then plait to make two loaves. Place loaves onto oiled tray, cover with a damp cloth and return to warmplace to rise for 15 - 25 minutes.
1 egg, beaten brush tops of loaves with egg, and sprinkle with poppy seeds
Bake at 180ºC / 350ºF for 35 - 40 inutes.
Loaves will be cooked when sound hollow when lightly tapped.
