WONDERFUL HOMEMADE BREAD
Combine the following in the mixer bowl:
3 pkg regular yeast (or 2 Tbsp + 3/4 tsp, if you buy it in jars)
1/4 cup bread flour
1 Tbsp white sugar
1/2 cup warm water
Let the mixture bubble five minutes, while measuring the next ingredients into a separate bowl, then add these ingredients to the yeast:
2 cups quick oatmeal
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp Vital Wheat Gluten
1 Tbsp + 3/4 tsp salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cups canola oil
4 1/2 cups warm water
Add the above mixture to the yeast mixture, and mix well.
Add flour below, using a dough hook to knead if you have one, until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl (dough will still be sticky, not dry. Amount of flour needed may vary with room humidity.)
4 cups whole wheat flour
6 cups bread flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts and/or pecans
1/2 cup cracked wheat
Pour dough into a huge, well-oiled bowl, turn to coat with oil. Cover loosely with a damp, clean tea towel. Let rise one hour, or until doubled in size. Dump onto a large cutting board or clean counter. Cut in sections, and place in oiled bread pans. Let rise one hour. BE SURE to preheat oven fully to 350 degrees. Bake 35 minutes. Brush tops with butter, cool in pans ten minutes, then turn out on cooling racks. This also makes yummy dinner rolls.

Ooh, that sounds good. I'm going to need to try this recipe. I think I may have some yeast packets in the cabinet too. Thanks, Roxanne!
ReplyDeleteRoxanne, homemade bread sounds delicious. I've never tried to make bread before. And you're right, it would go perfect with Lisa's stew.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I can't believe you make this every week, Roxanne!! Will you come to my house?? :)
ReplyDeleteSounds so, so yummy.
Oh I love homemade bread. You made me want to get out my bread machine and go to town. Not quite as exotic as yours but I'll take it. :)
ReplyDeleteThese recipes are making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI had yogurt for lunch.
Roxanne, yum on the recipes!
ReplyDeleteI have your book and am waiting a couple more weeks before I get started...though all the Christmas carols are making me think I will be starting sooner!
Peace, Julie
