Easter Baking Frenzy
On Easter weekend, in between church, enjoying the sunny outdoors with the pup, cleaning, and family lunch, I was in a baking frenzy.
A while back I had purchased King Arthur Flour's Unbleached Whole Wheat Flour and a small package of their organic unbleached all-purpose flour. After searching for several weeks for yeast-free recipes, not being content with what I was finding and wanting to make, I caved and picked up instant yeast from Aldi.
After scouring Pinterest and Google, I stumbled on a recipe for Honey Oat Whole Wheat Bread. Oh. My. Gosh. Not only was this an easy recipe to follow, but the smell as it was baking...so good. I ended up making 2 loaves, of course the 2nd turned out much better than the first (which is great because it wasn't for me!)
Making this without a KitchenAid or hand mixer made me a tad bit nervous initially. BUT, I figured if my great-grandmother could make killer/famous multi-grain bread without a mixer, I can make a little loaf of Honey Oat Wheat Bread without a mixer.
Warmed either from the oven or in the toaster, a little unsalted butter, and Michigan Honey drizzled on top, sends the tastebuds into a warm tailspin. I highly recommend it.
My modified recipe: I cut out the flaxseed meal and sunflower ingredients, and added a smidge of white flour to the wheat flour. With the first loaf I messed up the order of a few ingredients, but the second loaf was done in the prescribed order (which is why it was better).
Here is the original recipe: Grandma's Whole Wheat Bread
Next recipe post will be my "white pizza" with homemade whole wheat crust.

The end result was, according to my Grandmother, delicious.
