I have this amazing wheat bread recipe that I thought that I would share with you. It is the lightest wheat bread you will ever taste. I have shared with several people and it seems much more complicated then it really is but I thought that I would do pictures step by step for you.
I use wheat that I grind myself from my food storage. You are going to need a total of 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 cups of wheat flour. I also like to use the white wheat but you can use the red wheat too.
First you mix together 3 3/4 c. water2 eggs 71/2 c flour
then in a 2 c measuring cup put in 1 c. honey and right over the top 1 c. oil (I use canola oil)
dump that into the mixer omitting about 1/8 c. honey to be used at a later time. mix and let sit for atleast 1 hour.
After the hour is up use the cup with the honey in it and all to it 1 c. warm water and 4 Tbsp. of yeast. Mix the honey with the yeast really well. Wait until it bubbles up to the 2 c. mark.
This is my favorite kind of yeast it seems to work really well. Add to your flour mixture3 1/2c - 4 1/2c flour as well as the yeast mixture. Pouring in a little flour then a little yeast mixing it. DO that until the flour and the yeast are both gone. It will still look alittle liquidy that is okay. Add in 1 Tb. of salt. Knead for 8 min. If by the end of about 6 minutes it is still sticking to the sides add a little more flour until it pulls away from the side and knead for an additional 2 min.
Dump into a bowl and cover with a towel for 40 min.
or until double in size
Punch it down to make it fall and let rise again for 40 min. or double in size.
Divide into 5 equal pieces
Roll out dough
Then roll it up kinda like you would with cinnamon rolls. Pinch the end down. Then press the sides and tuck under
The size of loaf pan is about 8 1/4 x 4 in. Let rise about 20 min. or until it is about 1 inch above pan but the sides do not quite make it up to the top
cook on 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until nice and brown on top
immediately after pulling out of oven butter the top
Let cool, Eat, and Enjoy

Wow! That looks really yummy! I'll have to try it some time....although rolls and I don't do too well so we'll how it turns out.
If I had the fancy things that you need to make bread, I would totally make that recipe. Because homemade bread rocks!
So.....I have had a mill and bosch for about a 1 1/2yrs and I have not gotten the guts to make bread!! You have given me the courage...Though I still might need some encouragement from you!! I might have to call you or something!! I'm totally scared that I will totally screw up!
you are more then welcome to call me for help. I know it looks intimidating but it is super easy once you do it for the first time.
That looks soo yummy! I need a mill and a bosch!
i agree this is the BEST wheat bread recipe EVER!
i have the same grinder! thanks for the recpie... i am hopelessly addicted to this bread!
I have a question about the wheat grinder. How much whole grain is needed to make 10-11 cups of flour? Is it a 1:1 measurement, do you go by weight?
Thanks
I have never actually measured the wheat but I am guessing that it is about a 1:1 ratio. If you have any more question just let me know
