Wheat Bread in Resealable Bag
  1. 1

    Grease a bread loaf pan.

  2. 2

    In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast, milk powder, sugar, and salt. Add hot water and oil; seal the bag and squeeze to mix. Add whole-wheat flour; seal and mix. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour; seal and mix. Add small amounts of additional all-purpose flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bag.

  3. 3

    Move the dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until soft and well combined, 4 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a large rectangle; roll the rectangle into a log. Place the log in the prepared loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
