A good basic yeast bread made from 100% whole wheat.
Whole Wheat Bread
So, I decided to give another whole wheat bread recipe a try. This time I used a 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread recipe at the King Arthur Flour website.
As you see, I had a much better crown this time. Thankfully, this recipe gave the recommended pan dimensions, so I dug into the deep reaches of my pan cabinet and found my old air bake loaf pan that is 9 x 5 inch - as opposed to the pans I recently bought that are 10 x 5 inch. Definitely made a difference I think!
This bread is pretty good, though mine did come out really soft - not that there's anything wrong with that - and as a consequence of that, it was a bit too tender and crumbly. I think part of that was with my shaping. The texture and feel of the whole wheat dough is a bit different than a white bread dough too, so I don't think I did well in the shaping department.
Still, overall this is a very good bread recipe especially for being all whole wheat flour with no white flour at all. This is a good one, but I continue my search once again for the perfect for me whole wheat bread! And I am now convinced that I definitely need to pick up some new pans that are the standard size.
Here's how to make it.
