• My family LOVES when I make Honey Wheat Bread.

  This is the recipe I use, but I also pour melted butter over the top of it about half way through the baking process and again after I pull it out of the oven.  It is super yummy.

• I make this one for our daily bread. Making it into cinnamon bread is SO easy. 

  I just follow the instructions after the rise I roll it to a rectangle then brush it with butter and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar(and raisins sometimes) then roll it up TIGHTLY , seal the seam and place it seam down in a bread pan, and let it rise and continue with the baking instructions

• This is a great one too....you can always add a bit more sugar to your sweetness preference. Plus I use milk in place of the water, gives it a little more sweetness!

Homemade Wheat Thins [Printable Recipe]
Adapted from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking
Makes 5 to 6 dozen crackers

XIAOLU'S NOTES: I recommend doubling or tripling this recipe because 6 dozen is fewer than it sounds, especially when shared among several people 8).

1 cup (4 ounces) whole wheat flour (regular OR white whole wheat)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp turmeric (optional)
4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, cold
1/4 cup (2 ounces) water
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Additional salt for topping (optional)

Combine the flours, sugar, salt, paprika, and turmeric, if using, in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and mix it into the dry ingredients thoroughly, using your fingers, a pastry blender, a mixer, or a food processor. Combine the water and vanilla; add 3 tablespoons to the flour mixture, mixing just until smooth. If dough is too dry, add remaining water a teaspoon at a time until all the flour is incorporated. Cover and chill dough for 5 to 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces; keep the other pieces covered with a towel while you work with one at a time. Lightly flour your work surface and your rolling pin and roll the piece of dough into a large rectangle, which should be at least 12" square when trimmed. Keep your rolling pin and the outside of your dough evenly floured. Flip the dough frequently to keep it from sticking, but too much flour will make it difficult to roll. Keep rolling until the dough is as thin as you can get it without tearing (about 1/16-inch thick). Trim the dough to even the edges and use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the piece into squares approximately 1 1/2" wide.

Transfer the squares to a prepared baking sheet; you can crowd them together, as they don’t expand while baking. Sprinkle the squares lightly with salt, if desired. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Save the scraps under plastic wrap and re-roll them all at once just one time.

Bake the crackers, one sheet at a time, until crisp and browned. Check crackers after 5 minutes. If some of the thinner crackers brown too quickly, remove them. Then usse a spatula to stir remaining crackers around and return them to the oven to finish baking for another 3 to 5 minutes. These crackers bake quickly, so watch them closely - even 30 seconds can turn them from perfectly golden to way too dark! Remove the crackers from the oven and cool on the pan, a wire rack, or a plate; they cool quickly. These crackers will stay crisp for several days, but are best stored in airtight containers.
