Eat More Wheat

Per Mical's request, I am posting wheat recipes. Last night I made a regular brownie recipe and replaced half of the flour with wheat flour and I didn't notice a huge difference in taste or texture. 

Blender Wheat Pancakes

Maren's Rolls

(can also be made into whole wheat cinnamon rolls)

2 packages of yeast

1/2 c warm water

1/4 c sugar

6 1/2-8 c whole wheat or 1/2 white, 1/2 wheat flour

1/2 c powdered milk

1 T salt

2 c warm water

2 beaten eggs

1/2 c oil

Combine yeast, 1/2 c water, and sugar. Allow to stand until yeast is dissolved. Sift flour, powdered milk, and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in water, yeast mix, eggs and oil. Stir well and add more flour if needed to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise 1 hour. To speed rising process turn oven on to 300 degrees for 3 minutes, then turn off and place dough with warm moist cloth over it in closed oven). When doubled in size, turn out onto well floured board. Knead a few times to make dough easy to handle.Form into desired shapes*. 

For rolls, take small handfuls and roll into balls. Place the balls close together in a greased 9 x 13" pan. Allow to double in size. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes until golden brown.

*For cinnamon rolls roll out dough to 1/2 inch and spread with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Roll up and slice 1 inch pieces and place together in baking dish. Allow to double in size. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes until golden brown.
