Whole Wheat Bread
Grind 9 cups of wheat (I like to use 5 cups red and 4 cups white) This will grind into about 14 cups of flour
3 T. yeast
5 cups warm water
¼ cup sugar
Combine; let sit for about 10 minutes.
Add:
8 cups wheat flour
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
2 T. salt
½ cup vital wheat gluten* (optional; will give a lighter texture)
2 T. dough enhancer** (optional; will increase shelf life)
1/3 cup ground flax seed (optional; adds extra nutrition)
Mix for a minute or two. (I use my Bosch mixer, but you can use electric beaters)
Then add about 5 ½ cups more wheat flour, or until it leaves sides of mixing bowl. If mixing by hand, add enough so it’s not too sticky. Knead for about 5 minutes (may take longer if kneading by hand).
Shape into 5 loaves. Put in greased pans.
Place in cold oven to rise for 40-45 minutes. Leaving pans in the oven, turn oven on to 350.
Start timing and bake for 35 minutes. For easiest slicing, cool completely.
Dinner Rolls
4 T. yeast
3 cups warm water
¾ cup sugar
½ c. butter, softened
9-10 c. flour
1 T. salt
½ cup powdered milk
Soften yeast in water and sugar until foamy (about 10 minutes). Add butter, salt, powdered milk and half of the flour. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour. Continue to beat until flour is mixed in. Knead for 10 minutes (less if using mixer). Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down and cut dough into 4 sections. Roll out each section to 1/3 inch thick and brush with melted butter. Cut each section into 12 pieces, like a pizza. (I use a pizza cutter.) Start from the outside edge and roll into crescents. Put on greased baking sheets. Brush with butter. Let rise about 45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 11-15 minutes. Makes 4 dozen rolls.
Note: This recipe calls for white flour. I like to make it with half white and half wheat flour. I will then add 1 T. dough enhancer and 3 T. vital wheat gluten, to give it a lighter texture. If using all wheat flour, use 1/3 cup vital wheat gluten.
Waffles
2 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1/3 c. oil
2 cups wheat flour
4 t. baking powder
1 T. sugar or honey
½ t. salt
Beat eggs lightly. Add remaining ingredients. Pour on heated waffle iron. Cook until done.
