Recipe for One Rise Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

• 6 cups warm water
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2/3 cup honey (or 2/3 cup sugar)
• 3 tablespoon instant yeast
• 3 tablespoon dough enhancer
• 2 tablespoon salt
• 2 cups high gluten flour (or 2 tablespoon Vital Wheat Gluten)
• 10 – 12 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:

Step 1: Use Your Grain Mill to grind the wheat

Use your bread mill to grind 6-8 cups of wheat. (Hard white wheat works well for this recipe). This will yield 10-12 cups of flour.

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

Using a heavy-duty mixer with a paddle attachment, mix water, oil, honey, yeast, salt, dough enhancer, and high gluten flour on low speed.

Step 3: Add Flour

Add whole wheat flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl and comes up from the bottom. Do not add more flour at this point. The dough should be very sticky.

Step 4: Knead

Knead on speed 1 for 8 minutes or until the gluten has been developed.

Step 5: Place the Dough on the Counter

Slightly oil hands and counter and turn dough out onto counter. Divide dough into loaves.

Step 6: Shape Your Loaves

Shape loaves (about 5) and place in well-greased or sprayed pans. Cover and let rise until doubled.

Step 7: Bake

Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until inside temperature is 180°F (use Instant Read Thermometer).

Step 8: Eat

For best results allow your wheat bread to cool for about 45 minutes before cutting.
