Recipe: 100% Whole Wheat Bread
It’s been a while since I posted a bread recipe so I figured now’s a good a time as any to post a bread recipe. What time isn’t a good time to post a bread recipe?
You may know that a few months ago, I finally purchased a Kitchenaid stand up mixer. The main purpose of purchasing the mixer was because I wanted to start making my own breads and pizza dough without the burden of hand kneading. Call me lazy but if I can get out of using up time and energy on kneading, then I surely will! I’ve experimented with a couple of different bread recipes, a few of them you will find below. But today I am sharing a 100% whole wheat bread recipe that I got from my Kitchenaid mixer cookbook. The bread tasted pretty good but it was rather dense, a common problem that I’ve heard many have when baking whole wheat bread. I shall experiment again someday. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Have you tried adding gluten to your bread to give it more fluff? My husband likes whole wheat, but I can’t stand how dense it is, so I add vital wheat gluten, found in the whole foods section usually in those little bins. :) Works like a charm.
I found your blog on Mom’s Monday Mingle.
I host a Tuesday link-up and I would love it if you’d stop by sometime!

Seriously impressed with your bread making, Julie! Wow! Give me some butter and a knife, stat! I love whole wheat bread….do you think it would be ok to add honey to the bread?
earlier my wheat bread used to become as dense.. so i put off baking it for sometime till i read that adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of vinegar helps. i tried that and now my bread comes out really fluffy. you can give it a try..
lovely recipe.bread looks fabulous and perfect..going to bookmark it..

I need to make my own bread! The amount I spend in our local bakery is just bad! Why does bread making have to be so intimidating??!!
If I didn’t have my kitchen aid, I don’t know what I’d do. Knead by hand? What’s that??? ;)
LOVE this bread!
Those honey butter dinner rolls look amazing!

I usually have to force myself to eat 100% whole bread, but not this. Super delish — it has become our regular dinner table bread. Let it take its time rising at each step. No mixer needed if you’re a moderately healthy adult. Thank-you, thisgalcooks!
