Whole Wheat Bread - Debbiedoos Magazine Copy Cat Challenge

(Magazine covered created by Jacqueline -
no affiliation with Southern Living Magazine.)

Debbie at Debbiedoos is having a magazine
copy cat challenge.

This entry comes from a photo class I
took to improve my food photography
skills.  (I am still working on that!)  The
photo class was from Nicole Hill Gerulat.
Nicole does some online classes and also
travels and does classes.  Last year she offered
a photo class in France (alas I couldn't go!)

We had to produce a magazine cover
using our photography and make it
look just like one of their real magazines
using copy and style.  I decided to
make a recipe and turn it into a
magazine cover.

This is my whole wheat bread recipe that is my
very favorite.  My kids used to say,
  "Make the whole wheat
bread that tastes like white!"

My mother used to bake bread every Saturday
and we would stand by her side, practicing
kneading and make little loaves.

Let me tell you, her whole wheat bread
was never that great, but she didn't have
the incredible wheat mills and mixers
that are available today.  That is part of
the secret of this bread.

that I bought
from Bosch.  I think they sell a different one
now, but their mills are amazing and you can
make 100% whole wheat bread that is as light
and fluffy as bread made with half white.

My Favorite Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

In heavy duty mixer bowl place
3 heaping C. whole wheat flour
2 T. bread yeast (I use SAF)
1 T. dough enhancer (gluten - if you
can't find that use 1 egg white)
2 T. sugar
2 T. oil
1 tsp. salt

Add
scant 1 1/2 C. warm water.  
Let the mix knead with the bread dough hook
for about 5-10 minutes.  Cover and let rise until
double - about 1 1/2 hours.  Shape into a loaf
and let rise in a greased pan.

TRICK TO BREAD - get down on the eye level
of the bread pan.  The bread should have risen
about 1 to 1 1/2 inches (the size of your knuckle)
above the top of the pan.

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes.
Remove from pan and let cool on a cooling rack.

I like to butter the top of the bread like my
mom used to.


 (Another shot without all of the pretend
magazine cover material.)

Can you tell the cool weather is here?  I am
baking breads again - my form of nesting!

I will be posting this at

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  4. You Rock girl! You did an amazing job! That is pretty neat that you had done this for a photography class as well! I have wanted to take a class myself, however never got around to it, and I am learning as I go. I must take 100 pictures before I decide which ones to post. I appreciate your participation very much. Enjoy the party! You really did a fantastic job, and so inspiring. The bread made my mouth water!

  17. It is getting cooler in Idaho now, too, and I am spending more time in the kitchen. Your recipe will be tested tomorrow. It looks great.

    Can you do a blog and teach us what Pinterest is? I don't get it.

    Thanks, Tawnya H

  23. Your bread is gorgeous, like everything you make! :)

  24. Your bread looks perfect! It really could be on a magazine cover! I've been cooking more too, which is good because I love it but bad because I eat it!!

    I think it is funny how bloggers all over the country are all burned out on summer this year. It was simply too hot everywhere! I'm thinking that jeans, sweaters and boots are sounding pretty good!

  25. Fantastic- looks just like the cover!

    One question: how do you use egg white as a dough enhancer instead of gluten? Does it affect the consistency (ie- do you need to add more flour?). I'd love to find something other than adding more gluten!
