  4. 4 Let sit for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.
  5. 5 Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, remaining 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour.
  6. 6 Transfer dough to a floured work surface and gradually knead in remaining 2 cups whole wheat flour.
  7. 7 Knead until dough starts to pull away from the work surface, adding more whole wheat flour if necessary; dough should be a bit tacky to the touch, but not too sticky.
  8. 8 Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough.
  9. 9 Cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  10. 10 Grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans. Punch down the dough, and divide it into 3 loaves.

  12. 12 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the risen loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown for 25 to 30 minutes, do not overbake.
  13. 13 Lightly brush the tops of the loaves with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter when done to prevent crust from getting hard.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk to mix. Add flour and salt.
  2. 2 Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
  3. 3 Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
  7. 7 With a very sharp knife, score each roll about 1/4 inch deep along one side somewhere between the side and the top. Spritz loaves lightly with water from a spray bottle.
  8. 8 Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour the warm water into the pan of a bread machine, sprinkle in the salt, and add the flour to the pan so the flour sits on top of the water. Make a hole in the top of the flour, and spoon the yeast into the hole. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to moisten the flour. Set the bread machine to the knead setting, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in 1/4 cup more flour or as needed, adding the flour about 2 tablespoons at a time, to make a wet, sticky, but elastic dough. The dough should be "as soft as a baby's bottom." Form the dough into a round shape.
  2. 2 Wipe the inside of a large bowl with olive oil, and place the round ball of dough into the bowl. Turn the dough over a couple of times so the dough picks up a thin coating of oil. Cover with a cloth, and refrigerate the dough for 10 hours or overnight.
  3. 3 The next day, allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling out on a floured surface and adding toppings as desired. Roll the dough out thin with a thicker edge before adding toppings.
  4. 4 Place a pizza stone into oven, dust it with a little flour, and preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Bake the pizza on the stone in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place bread flour into the bowl of an electric stand mixer and pour in water, followed by salt. Sprinkle yeast over the surface and allow to dissolve and turn creamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix on medium speed using the paddle attachment until dough comes together. Replace the paddle with the dough hook and continue mixing until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Push a finger into dough; it should give some resistance, but not spring back. If it springs back, let it rise longer.
  4. 4 Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down to expel excess gas and redistribute yeast. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest, 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Shape dough into a boule by pushing it back and forth on the counter in a circular motion until you have a round, smooth ball. Cover dough with a clean dish towel and allow to rise, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a Dutch oven with cooking spray.
  7. 7 Slice a very shallow "X" into the top of dough with a sharp knife to help it expand while baking. Place loaf into the prepared Dutch oven and cover with the lid.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue to bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking until loaf is deep golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

  1. 1 Place the milk, egg, salt, sugar, butter, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in that order. Start the machine's Dough cycle.
  2. 2 Once the dough cycle has completed, remove the dough from the bread machine to a lightly floured surface. Cover with a large mixing bowl, and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 10 balls, then flatten, and gently stretch into 8x6-inch ovals (a beaver tail shape.)
  3. 3 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. 4 Cook the dough one or two at a time in the hot oil until lightly browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to serve.
