Method
- Mix the 2 cups whole wheat and 2 cups of the white flour together.
- Add the yeast, the sugar, and the salt.
- Pour in the hot water and beat for 100 strokes (or 3 minutes with a mixer).
- Stir in the rest of the flour until it is no longer sticky.
- Knead it for 8 minutes.
- Put the dough in a metal bowl that you have sprayed with cooking spray. Cover it with a damp towel.
- Let it rise for 15 minutes.
- Punch it down and divide it into 2 pieces.
- Shape each piece into a round loaf and put them on a baking sheet that you have sprayed with cooking spray.
- Cut an x in the top of each loaf. If you want you can brush the top with water and put sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top.
- Put the pan on the middle rack of a cold oven. Put a pan of boiling water on the bottom shelf.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the bread for 40-50 minutes or until it is deep golden brown.
Notes:
Note from contributor (ladypit): We often make 12 rolls instead of the 2 loaves. Food processor method: If you want to use your food processor, put all the dry ingredients into the bowl. Turn it on and slowly add the water until the dough forms a ball. Let it spin 20 times.
