This recipe comes from my church friends, the Lades. They make this bread daily at home and bring a loaf to every new baby and sick family in the church.
1 2/3 cup water
3 Tablespoons powdered mlk
3 Tablespoons shortening (coconut oil or butter)
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cups unbleached white flour
2 1/2 tsp yeast
5 tsp gluten flour
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup craisins
Place in bread machine on wheat cycle (2 lb loaf).
Or mix together and knead, let rise until double. Punch dough and form a loaf. Place in greased pan. Let rise until double. Bake at 325 for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Angela, what exactly is gluten flour?
Sinea, I wonder if they meant to say vital wheat gluten? That is what is commonly found at our health food store and looks like flour, but is the isolated gluten from wheat. This helps the bread rise better and hold it’s shape for slicing with a finer crumb–and increases the protein content of the bread.
