"Wheat" bread

[sbwertz]

I started from Kevin's basic carbquik recipe and adapted it to our tastes.

This bread has a great texture and flavor and looks and tastes like whole wheat bread. The secret is 3/4 cup ground pecans and a quarter cup of wheat germ!

Set the breadmaker to manual mode.

Combine all the dry ingredient in the pan of the breadmaker.

Then put the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients well. Warm them in the microwave 30 seconds.

Turn on the breadmaker and let the dry ingredients mix for a few seconds, then pour in the wet ingredients. Dough will be too soft at first, but will firm up and make a ball after it kneads for a few minutes.

Don't let the dough rise in the breadmaker. Take it out as soon as the knead cycle ends and form the dough and put it in a greased bread pan and set in a warm place to rise. It rises fast...between 30 and 40 minutes. If you let it rise twice it will ruin it.

When dough doubles in size bake it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on to a rack to cool.

(For white bread, omit pecans and wheat germ and reduce water to 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp)
