Best Home-made Bread
- 3 tbsp yeast
- 2 1/2 tbsp honey (or 3 tbs white sugar)
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup melted coconut oil (or canola, vegetable, or olive oil)
- 5 cup warm water
- 6 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp salt
- 6 cup white flour (6+ cups)
- 1 cup shredded flax seeds
- Mix yeast, honey and 1 cup warm water.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Add flax seeds, eggs, and oil and mix well.
- Add 5 cups of warm water and whole wheat flour.
- Mix well.
- Add salt and mix well.
- Add white flour one cup at a time, mixing well each time.
- Add flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft and kneadable.
- Take dough and divide into six equal sections.
- Form a loaf with each section.
- Place loafs in oiled loaf pans and poke a few holes in a nice pattern with a knife (this allows the dough to rise without forming air pockets).
- Cover with clean towel and let rise until at least doubled their size in a warm place.
- (Letting them sit for 7-10 minutes in the oven on "warm" setting, covered with a towel, will help them rise better).
- After the 7-10 minutes take them out and let them rise on the counter until they are the appropriate size.
- Bake at 350F until golden brown.
- I always mix and knead the dough in my Bosch machine and then bake in the oven.
- Much easier and yields much fluffier bread.
- After the bread is baked, take them out of the pans immediately and let cool.
- Slice the bread.
- Place loafs in ziploc bags.
- Because this recipe yields 6 loafs, I usually freeze 5 and just take them out as needed, defrosting and storing them in the refrigerator.
- Pop them in the toaster and they still taste fresh as ever.
