Day 11: Whole Wheat Bread

About a year ago, my husband decided to eat more naturally.  Over the course of the year, he’s cut out all high-fructose corn syrup, white flour and sugar, transfats and fried foods.  And looks great for it too!  (there are always exceptions for holidays, nights out to dinner, etc, but he mostly sticks to it!)

So, I’ve been making all our bread…100% all natural.

I don’t have any pictures this evening, but my house smells great, so I know I made it!

5 tsp yeast mixed with 2/3 cup warm water

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup dry milk mixed into 2 cups warm water

2 1/2 tsp salt

Combine all above ingredients.

Add 5 cups whole wheat flour ( I use my kitchen aid)

When that’s all mixed in, add about 2 more cups whole wheat flour…until it  “looks right” :)  and knead in the mixer for a couple of minutes.

Let rise for 1 hour.

Divide into two loaf pans and rise about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil (to keep it from burning on top) and bake another 40 minutes.
