My Go-To-Works-For-Everything Bread Recipe

I make this recipe weekly. One batch will yield a small loaf and some burger buns or dinner rolls. I use my bread machine's dough cycle. If you don't have one, proof yeast, mix dough, and rise once. Then skip to ****

Set out 1 1/4 cups of milk, 2T of butter, and 1 egg. Allow them to come to room temperature.

Add these ingredients and the following:

Scant 1/4c honey

1tsp kosher salt

3 1/2 c whole wheat flour

1/2tsp yeast

When cycle completes, remove the dough.

****

For loaf, shape and place in loaf pan. For round (hamburger) buns, roll and cut with a cutter or canning jar ring. For hoagie rolls or hotdog buns, roll and cut with a sharp knife into rectangles. Shape dinner rolls by hand. You get the picture.

Let rise one hour. May be frozen at this point.

Bake on 350 until golden.
