Single Loaf Handmade Wheat Bread

I did a little more revising, and this seems to work pretty well, after having tried it out this morning.  I won't leave the full instructions, just a summary.  The complete instructions are in the previous post.

Total Time Needed: 2 hours

Dry Ingredients

Option A

2 C Whole Wheat Flour

1 + 1/2 C White Flour, separated

1 1/2 tsp. Fast acting dry yeast

1 tablet Vitamin C, crushed

1/4 C Gluten Flour

1/4 C Potato Starch

1/4 C Soy Protein Isolate

1/4 tsp. Iodized Sea Salt (mixed into reserved 1/2 C White Flour)

Option B

2 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour

1 + 1/2 C White Flour, separated

1 tablet Vitamin C, crushed

1/4 C Soy Protein Isolate

1 1/2 tsp. Fast acting dry yeast

1/4 tsp. Iodized Sea Salt (mixed into reserved 1/2 C White Flour)

Wet Ingredients

1 ½ C Water (do NOT substitute)

1/2 tsp. Fair Trade Sugar

1 tsp. Plain Light Corn Syrup

1 T Oil

Optional Topping Ingredients

1 T Egg whites (or just a single egg white will do)

1 T Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or other seeds/grains/nuts

Instructions

1.  Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.

2.  Add all the dry ingredients except for 1/2 cup white flour, in order, and mix thoroughly together in a large bowl.

3.  Add all wet ingredients, in order, and mix thoroughly together in a separate glass baking dish.  Microwave for 2 minutes or until 85 degrees.

4.  Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry, and mix thoroughly until a soft, very sticky dough forms.  Dump the dough into the glass baking dish you used before.

5.  Put the lid on the glass baking dish and then turn the oven off.  Rise dough in the oven for 30 minutes until double in size and spongy.  Prepare a large bread pan with either pan spray or oil in a Misto container.  Do not use flour in the greasing process.

6.  Turn the oven back on to 200 degrees and kneed dough into a "tacky" textured ball, using 1/2 cup flour and salt in large bowl.

7.  Shape the dough into a loaf.  Add toppings in bowl and roll the top of the dough in them before placing dough, right side up, in the bread pan.

8.  Turn the oven off and rise the dough again for 50 minutes.

10.  Bake for 50 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees.
11.  Pull out of oven, turn oven off, leave bread in pan for 5 minutes, then remove.  Keep bread upside down for 5 minutes, then turn right side up and cover lightly with a clean dry hand towel until it's cool.
