My Bread Recipe & "Pan-Ease"

This is the basic bread that I make several times a week.  You can also use this dough for other breads like Cinnamon Rolls.

Our Favorite Honey Wheat Bread


1 cup + 1Tb warm water
1 egg
4 1/2 tsp olive oil
3 1/4 c fresh ground wheat (or 2 1/4 cup unbleached bread flour + 1 cup wheat flour)
1/4 cup honey
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt

*I added the mixer instructions....Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl, liquids and yeast first then remainder, (I have a Bosch mixer with dough hooks.)  Knead mixture on medium speed for 15 minutes. Allow to rest, covered for 1 hour.  Take out and form loaves as directed below....

Add all these ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed, and select the "dough" cycle.  When the cycle is completed, take out the dough, and divide into two balls.  With floured hands, shape the dough into two "loaves."  Set each loaf into a greased & floured loaf pan*, or onto a baking stone.  Cover with a dish towel, and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warm location.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 17-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from pans and allow to cool completely on a baking rack.  Store in an airtight container.

Start to finish, it takes about 3 hours to make the bread. But it is SO worth it!  This makes fantastic french toast!
 
These are cinnamon rolls made with the bread dough.
 

Pepperoni Rolls made with the bread dough.

Like I said above, a basic bread that can be used for just about everything
*************************
* I have a mixture that I use for all of my baking.  It is called "Pan-Ease" and someone shared this with me many years ago.  With a mixer, combine equal parts shortening, vegetable oil, and flour. (1/2 c. each is good to start with.)  Mix it until it is smooth, and store in the fridge in an air-tight container.  When I bake, I just take a pastry brush or a paper-towel, and coat my pans with this mixture.  There are no chemical sprays, no preservatives or flavorings.  It works great!
