Ingredients

Directions

  1. Warm the milk to approximately 110ðF (43ðC) and pour it into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the eggs, sugar, melted butter, wheat germ, and bran to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add the bread flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and shape it into a loaf or rolls.
  8. Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until nearly doubled.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  10. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
