Sister Hinckley Bread

I loved Marjorie Pay Hinckley's book, Small and Simple things.  In it, she shares a whole wheat bread recipe, which, if done like written is amazing!!  But I  have altered it to go in my bread maker, and halved the recipe.
BREADMAKER
1 tsp. yeast
1 1/2 C. water
1/4 cups honey or sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
2 cups white flour
2 cups wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup powdered milk

ORIGINAL RECIPE VARIATION--HALVED
Dissolve 1 package dry yeast in 1/4 Cup water with 1 1/2 tsp. honey or sugar.  Mix with
1 3/4 cup warm water, 3/4 cup powdered milk, 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs beaten, 1/3 cup honey, 1 Tbsp. salt, 1/2 to 1 cup white flour, and about 5 cups whole wheat flour.
Knead in bread mixer about 10 minutes.  Let rise until doubled.  Divide into 3 small loaves.  Knead and shape.  Let rise in greased pans.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Reduce to 300 degrees and bake for 1 hour.

ORIGINAL RECIPE (from my notes)
Dissolve 2 pkg dry yeast in 1/2 cup water with 1/2 Tbsp. honey or sugar.  Mix with 3 1/2 cups warm water, 1 1/2 cups dry powdered milk, 1 cup oil, 4 eggs beaten,
3/4 cup honey, 2 Tbsp. salt, 1 or 2 cups white flour, about 10 cups whole wheat flour.
Knead and let rise until doubled.  Divide into 6 small loaves.  Knead and shape.  Let rise in greesed pans.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Reduce to 300 degrees and bake for 1 hour.
Thank you, Sister Hinckley for sharing this bread recipe and so much else!  We love and miss you!

  1. As always with bread you have to adjust the consistancy of the dough. When it is well blended, it should be just tacky, not sticky or dry. Adjust with added flour or liquid.
