Whole Wheat Bread


This recipe is my staple. It came with my Nutrimill Grain Mill.

In your mixer or in a large bowl combine and let sit for 15 minutes:

2, 1/2 cups warm water
1, 1/2 TBL SAF instant yeast
2 cups wheat

After 15 minutes dump into the bowl:

1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup honey
1, 1/2 TBL Vital Wheat Gluten (found by the baking powder in Walmart)
2, 1/2 tsp salt
4 cups wheat

knead for 10 minutes. If you are mixing by hand mix for two 15 minute increments.

No need to let the dough rise. Just form 2 loaves in greased bread tins. Let the loaf rise for an hour. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Remove hot bread from tins immediately. Allow to cool at least one hour. I don't recommend serving wheat bread hot. The gluten strands are very fragile because of the weight of the wheat. Your bread will be mushy and taste undercooked. Serve the loaf bread cooled. Soft and moist!
