100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

2 Tbs orange juice
1 cup lukewarm water
4 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
3 cups traditional whole wheat flour
3 tbs sugar
Heaping 1/2 cup dried potato flakes or 3 Tbs potato flour
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp instant yeast

Combine all the ingredients and knead them--by hand, mixer, or bread machine--until you have a soft, smooth dough. Cover and allow the dough to rise until it's puffy and nearly doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.

Lightly grease an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Gently deflate the dough and shape it into an 8-inch log. Place it in the prepared pan. Cover it gently with lightly greased plastic wrap or a proof cover, and allow it to rise till it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Near the end of the bread's rising time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Uncover and bake the bread for about 35 minutes, tenting it with foil after 15 minutes. The bread is done when it's golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190 degrees. Remove it from the oven, and after a minute or so turn it out onto a rack. Brush with melted butter, if desired; this will keep the crust soft. Cool the bread for 30 minutes before slicing.
