From the Homemade Bread cookbook. This recipe takes 6 1/2 - 8 cups all purpose flour, I averaged it to 7 cups. You can use 1 cup of mashed potatoes in place of instant, combine with honey-water mixture. Ingredients:
2 packages active dry yeast |
5 cups water (110-115 degrees) |
6 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/4 cup honey |
4 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup potatoes, mashed, dehydrated, flakes |
1/2 cup milk, dry, nonfat, instant |
1 tablespoon salt |
7 cups all-purpose flour (sifted) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, and grease 3 9x5x3 loaf pans.
2. Sprinkle yeast on 1/2 cup warm water; stir to dissolve.
3. Melt shortening in 6-qt saucepan; remove from heat, add honey and remaining 4 1/2 cups warm water.
4. Mix whole wheat flour (stirred before measuring), instant potatoes, dry milk, and salt. Add to saucepan; beat until smooth.
5. Add yeast and bead to blend. Then, with wooden spoon mix, in enough all-purpose flour (61/2 - 8 cups) to make a dough that leaves the sides of the pan.
6. Turn onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and satiny, and small bubles appear (8-10 minutes).
7. Place in lightly greased bowl, turn dough over to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled (1 - 1 1/2 hours).
8. Punch down dough, turn onto board and divide into thirds.
9. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
10. Shape into 3 loaves and place in pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
11. Bake in oven about 50, or bread tests done.
