Molasses Wheat Bread (step by step)
Recipe (and another picture tutorial) found at: Catherine's blog.
Her tutorial is the one that first helped me realize what I was doing wrong in bread baking, and how to figure out what to do to better my whole wheat loaves! This is why I love photo tutorials.
Mix the ingredients up, and knead dough for 10 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch.
Let rise for an hour, then punch down (soft as a pillow):


Let it rise again, and punch down again. Then, take the risen dough, like this:

And cut it in two:

Roll out each half like this:

And roll it up:

(And those edges that you see in this picture on the ends, pinch them and pull downwards.)

Now, spray the pans with oil, or rub oil in them with a papertowel:

Place rolled dough in the pans:

And let them rise 15 minutes, or until they look like this:

Then, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes....take out and it should look like this (and it is SO SOFT).

Enjoy!

Bethany--thanks for this awesome recipe. For the past few days my husband has been "hinting" that he'd like me to try making bread. I've made cinnamon rolls, so I thought, "no problem." We just finished eating two warm slices with butter and jam. Yum! I found your blog recently, and have enjoyed it immensely. I'm a stay-at-home wife learning lots of things. Thanks for all your great ideas.
