Whole Wheat Bread {Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe}
Printed from healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com

*Makes three 1.5-lb loaves

INGREDIENTS:

3 Cups hot water, microwave on high 2-3 min or until quite warm
1/3 Cup oil
1/3 Cup sugar
1 Tbsp. salt (put in first before adding yeast)
3 Cups + freshly ground whole wheat flour (hard white wheat)
2 Tbsp. yeast on top of flour
½ Cup gluten flour

½ Cup ground flax seed (optional) 

DIRECTIONS:

Combine above ingredients in Bosch mixer in order, making sure that the yeast is on top of the flour. Mix with the dough hook. Add more whole wheat flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Then mix for an additional six minutes. Divide dough into 3 loaves (the dough will still be VERY sticky - so sticky that you won't be able to form your loaves without putting oil on your hands). In the pressure cooker, you will only be able to cook 1 loaf of bread at a time. If desired, you can cook the other two loaves using the oven method or freeze the dough to cook in the pressure cooker later.

Grease a round pan that fits into the pressure cooker, place the 1/3 of the bread dough into it, and pressed it down to fill the pan. Place the metal trivet on the bottom of the pressure cooker. Then add 2 cups of water to the pressure cooker and a splash of vinegar. I've found that adding the vinegar to the water helps so you don't develop a white film around your pressure cooker pan when you cook this way.

Then make a little pan carrier by folding a 1-1/2 to 2 foot piece of tin foil into thirds. Place the tin foil carrier underneath the round bread pan and use it to place the bread inside the pressure cooker. Then fold the tin foil down around the edges of the bread pan so it doesn’t prohibit the dough from rising.

Turn on the pressure cooker onto the warm setting for just a few minutes and let it barely start to get warm and then turn it off. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and let the bread dough rise in the heated little "pressure cooker room" for about 30 minutes until the dough has risen to fill the pan.

When it is done rising, turn the pressure cooker on to high pressure and cook the bread for 20 minutes. Release the pressure using the quick release method. Allow the bread to cool. Then remove from the cooker using the foil handle. Slice, eat, and enjoy.
