Submitted by MickiColl on January 24, 2011 - 11:21am Graham Flour BreadAs I ponder my lost youth I keep going back to when I first started baking bread... 60 some years ago. the lady that taught me only made graham flour bread .. as I remember it, it was a light, soft, slightly sweet all purpose sandwich bread, baked in a loaf pan. she may have used water .. but maybe milk. maybe all graham, maybe white and graham mixed .. I have googled, and searched everywhere but can't come on a recipe for it. is there anyone on this site that may remember that far back, and have the recipe ? graham flour is hard to find but I finally did get some Bob's Red Mill. strangely, neither them nor King Arthur have the recipe. Should I just use my favorite wheat bread recipe, and substitute with graham flour ? Any help, suggestions are appreciated. MIcki

graham bread recipes
Bob's Red Mill site. A couple, or 3 recipes. Scroll towards the bottom of page, just before the comments:
http://www.bobsredmill.com/graham-flour.html
Hodgson Mill also labels their WW flour as "Graham". There is a recipe there:
http://www.hodgsonmill.com/hodgson-mill-100-whole-wheat-bread/
As maybe you can see by some of the recipes(linked and elsewhere), if you want a higher rising, fluffy bread, you may need to use a good portion of bread flour, or add vwg.
There is at least one recipe here at fresh loaf that calls for Hodgson Mill graham flour. See the favorites list(or whatever, or search) for Memo's Brown Bread. Seemed to turn out well for many. Not so well for me. That was early in my breadbaking hobby, and apparently I was having difficulty adjusting for Memo's "cup" measurements.
In a web search, many just seem to be "wheat" bread recipes, and/or quick breads.
If you do find a decent recipe, please post back. I have a bag+ in the freezer I've been waiting to use(over a year). Bought in a close out sale. Just never got around to using it yet.
Good luck.

Made this last night and I love it! Made half with a loaf pan and half as a boule. Really love it as a boule. Nice and soft and great flavor. Coworker is telling me right now she could probably each the whole boule by herself. Thanks for the recipe!

I never
I never knew that Graham flour and regular whole wheat flour was different to any significant degree. What's the difference, if there is one?
I'd look for some good whole wheat bread formulas and try those with graham flour (named after a Dr. Graham, if I remember that Good Eats episode correctly, original inventor of the graham cracker).
