Shredded Wheat Bread
List of Ingredients
Shredded Wheat cereal gives this rich, brown, molasses-scented bread just a hint of whole wheat flavor and texture.
Yield: 1 1/2 pound loaf
3 full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits
1 cup milk
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons water*
2 tablespoons butter, melted or softened
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
3 cups Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt Recipe
Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start. About 10 minutes before the end of the second kneading cycle, check the dough and adjust its consistency as necessary with additional flour or water; the finished dough should be soft and supple. Allow the machine to complete its cycle.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and fashion it into a loaf shape. Place the loaf in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch pan, cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap (or an acrylic dough cover), and allow the loaf to rise for 1 hour, or until it's crested 1 to 2 inches over the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes, tenting it with aluminum foil for the final 10 minutes of baking if it appears to be browning too quickly. The internal temperature of the finished loaf should be about 190 degrees. Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. For a softer crust, spray it with butter spray, or brush it with melted butter or margarine.
*You'll probably need to use only 1/4 cup water in the summer, when your flour is more moist.
