Whole Wheat Bread Hints:

Are you having a failure each time you use whole wheat flour to make bread? Try these simple tips and tricks to try and keep your bread fresh and to get the best results.
Directions
- Do not add too much flour when kneading the dough. Use just enough to keep from sticking. Whole wheat dough will be somewhat sticky - dough should be bouncy but soft. Too much flour makes it tough and hard and the resulting bread will be dry and crumbly.
- Do not let bread dough rise more than double at any point. That would cause the texture to be more full of holes and more course and crumbly.
- Right after forming, prick loaves with a fork to keep air bubbles from forming.
- Whole wheat bread spoils quickly. To freshen a loaf going stale, wrap in tinfoil or a dampened paper bag and place in a warm oven until heated thoroughly. Remove from wrapping and cover with a cloth to cool. Replace in paper bag.
- The quality of your bread will depend a lot on the quality of flour you use.
