Description
Homemade whole wheat bread is delicious and nutritious, as well as frugal.
Ingredients
- 6 c. warm water
- 3/4 c. grapeseed or olive oil
- 1/2 c. raw honey
- 3 Tbsp. dough enhancer
- 1/3 c. gluten (optional)
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. yeast
- 5 c. freshly ground whole wheat – SPONGE
- 2 Tbsp. sea salt
- 10–12 c. MORE wheat flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare bread pans by spraying. Start a sponge with the water, honey, oil, dough enhancer, yeast and 5 c. of whole wheat flour. Jog until blended, cover and let bubble at least 15 minutes, up to an hour.
Add salt.
Start adding remaining flour, per the tutorial, until the bowl starts to clean. Follow the instructions for total flour, and the signs of gluten development.
Separate by cutting the dough into 4-6 loaves. Shape and place in pans. Cover, and let rise until doubled.
Bake 26-28 minutes, until brown and hollow when tapped. Internal temperature should be 180 degrees.
Enjoy with butter and honey!
Notes
Use a bread pan with high sides, like Norpro.
