Grandma Merlene’s 90th birthday was yesterday. So I decided she might like some homemade bread.<\/p>\n

Here’s grandma Merlene, 90 years old today! She’s holding her light wheat bread<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I have an old Amish white bread recipe that I love. But I want to get a little healthier. So I often put in a cup and a hlaf of wheat flour to the recipe so it is like a light wheat bread. It is not too heavy, but it has a hint of wheat to it,but still light and fluffy like a good homemade white bread should be.  Not too dense, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Warm water mixed with the yeast….then add sugar after it foams up a bit….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n

I was going to use honey in this recipe but I used sugar instead, but I used
both kinds of flour.  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I used the Wesson canola oil for my bread….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then add the oil and salt. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

RECIPE FOR LIGHT WHEAT BREAD<\/span><\/b>
2 Cups warm water
1 1\/2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1\/2 teaspoons salt<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2\/3 cup white sugar
1\/4 cup oil
1 1\/2 cups wheat flour
4 to 4 1\/2 cups white flour <\/p>\n

In a large bowl yeast in water, then add sugar to feed yeast.  Allow to foam up. Add salt and oil and mix up. Add flour 1 cup or so at a time. Knead dough until smooth 3-4 minutes. Place in oiled bowl for an hour to rise and Cover with a damp cloth till doubled in size. Divide dough in half and form into loaves and place in 2 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.  Can make all white by substituting wheat flour for white and it is just as easy and yummy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cute flour and sugar holders…..I need some of these…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You could use your dough hook, but it seriously takes about 3 to 4 minutes to get it all ready  to rise!  I just
do it by hand because it is so easy to clean up. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While it was baking I thought I’d put up my St. Patrick’s Day stuff.  I only had enough for the front table….<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
My St. Patrick’s Day front entry table….I made the leprechaun a few years back with my class.
We used empty lamination rolls for the body.  It took me a year to save up enough at my school! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Anyway, Grandma Merlene loves homemade bread.  I hope she liked mine. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
And I had to have a few slices too….good thing this recipe makes 2 loaves!   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Anyway,  this wheat bread is real easy, yummy, and good for you! Wanna bite? <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
