How hot is hot?
If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. Test the water
temperature; it should feel comfortably warm.
How do you measure up?
Pour the flour from the bag into a medium-sized bowl.

Kneading has three easy steps. It
develops gluten and gives your
bread structure so it rises and
won’t be flat like a pancake.
1.
Fold the far edge of the dough over
itself toward you.
2.
Gently push the dough away with
the heels of your hands.

Remember to read through the recipe twice!
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine warm
water, sugar, yeast, and 2 cups King
Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat
Flour (orange bag). Cover mixture
with a clean towel and let rest a few
minutes until bubbly.
2. Stir in salt and cooking oil.

3. Stir in 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (red bag), one cup at a
time. The dough will get harder and harder to stir! Measure out one more cup of flour.
Estimate and sprinkle about 1/2 of that cup over the sticky dough. Using your dough
scraper, clean the flour from the sides of the bowl and press into the dough until the
dough is covered with flour and no longer sticky.
4. Plop dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough (see fold,
push, turn, page 5). To prevent sticking, take a little flour from your measuring cup
and sprinkle it on your hands or the work surface. Use your dough scraper, too. Knead
for 5 minutes, then take a break and let the dough rest (bench rest).

5. While dough is resting, scrape out the
mixing bowl, and smear a little oil around
the inside.
6.
Knead the dough for a few more
minutes. It’s ready when you gather the
dough into a ball, lightly press it with
your fingertips, and it bounces right back.
Put the dough into the oiled bowl, flip
the dough once, and cover with plastic
wrap and a clean towel. Put the dough in
a warm place to rise until double in size,
about one and one-half hours.
Ready to Rise?
Two good spots for your dough to rise; on top
of the fridge, or in your oven (turned OFF).
OR...
OFF
7.
Gently deflate the dough and put it
onto a floured surface. Divide the dough
in half; form into loaves or other desired
shapes. (To make the braid, cinnamon
rolls or pizza, follow the instructions on
pages 8 and 9.)
8.
Grease a cookie sheet; put your
shaped dough on it. Cover the dough
with plastic wrap and a clean towel and
let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
9.
Carefully remove plastic wrap and
slash the tops of the loaves with a sharp
knife (serrated works best). Bake the
loaves about 30 minutes until the crust is
golden brown.
1O.
Cool the bread on a rack. Enjoy!
CAUTION:
Do not put warm bread
into a plastic bag!
Slash!
Right before the bread goes into
the oven, use a very sharp knife
and cut the top surface of the
dough. Slashing helps the dough
expand upward as it bakes.

Lightly mark your dough into 8 equal pieces. Pass a length of dental floss under
the dough where you want to cut it. Wrap the floss around the dough and make one
knot (like you’re tying a shoelace). Pull both ends and voila!
