Bread! Glorious Bread!

Although I am not personally eating bread right now I am trying very hard not to impose it on my family. So the other day I got out the wheat grinder, ground a can of wheat and made the best bread dough I have ever fed them. At least that is what I hear.

If you don't have a good recipe try this one. It is entitled "Simple whole wheat bread", found on the allrecipes.com page

Ingredients



3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup honey
5 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons butter,
 melted 1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
 2 tablespoons butter, melted


Directions
In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey. Add 5 cups white bread flour, and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.


Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.


Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.


Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely
