Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp. granulated yeast
- 1 1/2 c. warm water
- 1 tbsp. organic buckwheat honey
- 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. organic orange juice
- 2 1/2 c. organic whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. freshly ground flax meal
- 1 tbsp. organic sweet butter
Instructions
- Place the yeast, warm water, and honey in the bowl of a mixer. Stir together and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- To the yeast mixture, add the olive oil and orange juice, and combine using the paddle attachment. Add the dry ingredients and mix until all the flour is absorbed.
- Switch to the dough hook and knead for 4 minutes on medium speed until the dough is very stiff, silky, and dry.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Second Rise: Flatten out the dough on a lightly floured surface to break up air bubbles. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a 12- by 24-inch rectangle. Fold it in thirds, like a business envelope. Repeat this process one more time. Then flatten the dough and place in a buttered 9 1/4-inch by 5 1/4-inch by 2 3/4-inch baking pan and brush the surface with melted butter.
- Let rise until 1 inch short of the top of the pan, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake for 1 hour. Carefully unmold onto a rack and cool completely.
