Whole Wheat Bread with raisins

I felt like baking bread this morning and did some experimenting in the kitchen. The result was this recipe; a soft healthy bread with lots of fiber.

Mix with a fork in a big bowl:

3 cups white flour for bread

6 cups whole wheat flour

¾ OZ dry yeast (3 small packages)

A little bit of salt

Add:

4 cups water (110-115 degreese Fahrenheit)

¼ cup maple syrup

½ cup olive oil

Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon/fork. 

Add ½-1 cup raisins. 

 

Let the dough rest for ten minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare two baking sheets.

Cut the dough into 16 pieces and roll them into round buns.

Let the pieces of dough rest on the baking sheets for about 20 minutes. Place one of your hands on them and put a light pressure to make them more flat = easier to make sandwiches of.

Bake them in the middle of the oven for about 13 min.

Enjoy them as they are or with a cup of tea/coffee/juice, a soup or a summer salad. Feel free to add butter/cheese/meat/vegetables and turn them into healthy lunch sandwiches.
