Serves: 6 loaves

Ingredients:

  • 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 pkg active dry yeast
  • 2 cups very warm water (120° to 130°F)

Preparation:

Combine all-purpose and whole wheat flour in large bowl. Attach dough hook to stand mixer. Place 4 cups flour mixture, sugar, salt, and yeast in mixer bowl. Mix on low speed 15 seconds. Gradually add warm water and mix 1 minute. Add remaining flour mixture, 1 a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on low speed 2 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.

Shape dough into a ball. Place in large, lightly greased bowl and turn to grease surface. Cover and let rise in warm place (85°F) 1 hour or until doubled.

Punch dough down and divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 7' circle and place on individual foil squares. Let rise, uncovered, 1 hour at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 500°F. Bake circles on foil directly on oven rack 5 to 6 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Immediately remove from foil and cool on wire racks.
