Bari's and Cheri's Whole Grain Bread
This recipe is a crowd favorite. May the Bread fairies be with you!
6 cup warm water
1 cup oil
1 cup honey (the recipe called for 1 cup) ( you can combine oil and honey to slide out easy)
2 T sugar (chef brad)
3 T (Heaping)Yeast
_________________
Put into Bosh and blend 4-10 Seconds (mix setting 2) and let set for 15 minutes.
*I usually grind my grain at this point. Lately I grind about 3 quarts of spelt, 1 quart of red
wheat ( you can grind any grain you want)
Then add
6 (5 lbs) Cups whole grain flour or wheat flour
2-3 cups Flour
2 T salt (heaping)
2 T Dough Enhancer (heaping)
Mix together until blended and looks like southern grits.
LET DOUGH REST FOR 15-30 minutes ** IMPORTANT STEP
Then add
4-6 C whole grain flour and knead for 10 minutes
*( one cup at a time until the dough comes away from the side of the bowl)
*I add 4 cups and then knead for 10 minutes , like state above , and then slowly add in 1/2 a
cup at a time
*You know you are done and gluten is formed when the the bread pulls away and creates a
window pane form
Divide into 5 loaves.
*Instead of putting flour of my surface to shape dough I put oil because extra flour ruins the
bread.
I flatten a loaf and roll to shape. Put into pans and let rise until double.
*You know when its has risen enough by touching the top of the dough and its stings back
(let rest at least 30-40 minutes and then touch).
Cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 6 minutes.
Turn temperature down to 335 and cook for about 20-25 minutes.
*If you have an instant read thermometer you cook until 180-200 degrees. ( Highly
recommend the thermometer).

Mix/knead 15 minutes
Form loaves. Allow to rise until they are the size they should be when baked. (I put mine in an oven set at 120 degrees to hurry it along.:
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes-that is my oven. The smell of the baking bread will change .. kind of a darker smell when the bread is ready.
I use red wheat. Instead of oil you can use applesauce.
