Anyone make their own brown bread?

ChellieIrish

I really love brown bread but have been trying to stay away from it as it's so HIGH in Sodium :sad: I've tried various different types and finally I've decided to "try" and make my own can't be that hard :laugh:

So if you do make your own please share your recipe here :flowerforyou:

Thanks in advance :bigsmile:

Mix together:
2 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 cup wheat germ (if desired)
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp molasses
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp salt (more if desired-the recipe actually calls for 2 Tbsp, but I am on a low-sodium diet)
4 Tbsp instant yeast
7-8 cups warm/hot water

Add in enough whole wheat flour to make dough (about 7 cups). Kneed for 10 minutes. Sprinkle white flour on tabletop to kneed on if desired. Let rise until double in warm place. Shape into 5-6 loaves. Let rise about one hour. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Fabulous bread! I get asked to sell it, but I don't!
