I started grinding my own wheat and making homemade wheat bread about three years ago. I love this recipe. It makes four loaves of bread, which sounds like a lot unless you have four kids. Also it freezes great. I slice mine, put it in a plastic bread bag, and zip it in a freezer bag. It's good up to one month. I've had problems with homemade wheat bread crumbling, not so with this recipe. Another thing I've found to make a tasty bread use 1/2 hard white wheat flour and 1/2 hard red wheat flour if you can.Hope you enjoy. Ingredients:
4 cups warm water |
1 tablespoon salt |
1/3 cup oil |
1/2 cup honey |
1 1/2 tablespoons bread enhancer (with tofu) |
2 tablespoons yeast |
10 cups whole wheat flour |
Directions:
1. Put water in mixer and add 4 c of flour.
2. Mix for a few seconds and then add yeast, honey, oil, dough enhancer, and salt. Pulse a few times.
3. Then while mixing add just enough flour till dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
4. Dough should be slightly sticky to the touch.
5. Mix 10-12 minutes giving the gluten time to develop.
6. Place in greased bowl cover and let rise 45 minutes.
7. Punch down and shape into loves.
8. Place in greased loaf pans, and let rise 20-30 minutes.
9. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350°.
