    Easy Amish Wheat Bread

    Published: Apr 15, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 4 Comments

    These are three loaves of homemade wheat bread hot from the oven that I photographed in an Amish kitchen in Indiana over the week.  Slather a slice with soft butter and you get one word from me: YUM. Doesn't this look tasty?  Notice the soft light, the glow is given off by a gas lamp on the ceiling.  Makes for a very homey evening atmosphere. Now try the recipe yourself below. Enjoy!

    ¾ c. sugar

    ¾ c.wheat flour
    1 Tbsp. salt
    3 c. warm water
    2 Tbsp. (2 pkg.) yeast
    ¾ c. vegetable oil
    2 c. whole wheat flour
    6 c. white flour 

    Mix sugar, flour and salt. Add water. Stir well and add yeast. Let set until it rises a bit, then add vegetable oil. Mix well, then add flour. Mix well. Let rise until double. Form into 3 loaves and let rise. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.

      Is the 3/4 cup flour at the top of the ingredients list whole wheat or white?

      Do they poke the top with a fork? I see some marks that really look like fork prints. Is that a trick they use? (I ask because bread is the one thing I am just not good at...not sure why)
