Low Calorie Whole Wheat Bread

1. 1

   Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of water or, if you are using dry yeast, bloom the yeast as the package instructs.

2. 2

   Using the 1 or 2 setting on your stand mixer with the dough hook attachment in place, add the water and yeast to the bowl of your mixer.

3. 3

   Add the rest of the ingredients.

4. 4

   Once the dough is formed to a smooth dough, turn it out onto your work surface.

5. 5

   Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover and place in a warm draft free location.

6. 6

   When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down by pushing your fist into the center of the dough.

7. 7

   Let it rise again and take it out of the bowl. Separate into 3 1-pound loaves. You can place the loaves into loaf pans if you like.

8. 8

   Let the bread proof until doubled in size again. Putting them in an oven that has not been turned on is a good place for this.

9. 9

   Take the proofed loaves out of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

10. 10

    I like to egg wash the bread and then slash it, but you can skip the wash if you like.

11. 11

    Bake until golden brown.
