100% Whole Wheat Bread
- 6 cups wheat (makes 9-10 cups flour)
- 3 vitamin C tablets, 500 mg
- 4 cups warm water
- 12 cup non-fat powdered milk
- 12 cup olive oil (or canola, etc.)
- 12 cup honey (or sugar)
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast (I use SAF brand, red label)
- 12 cup gluten flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- Grind wheat and vitamin C tablets together in mill on finest setting.
- In a large bowl or heavy duty mixer, mix water, powdered milk, oil, honey, and 3 cups of the freshly ground flour until smooth.
- Add the yeast and gluten flour, then mix for 2 minutes.
- (Because this recipe calls for instant yeast, you don't have to proof the yeast first).
- Add the salt, and gradually mix in the rest of the flour.
- Mix dough for 10-12 minutes in a heavy-duty mixer until dough forms into a ball (add small amounts of extra flour if it is too wet).
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees (warm setting).
- When its preheated, turn it off.
- Put dough onto oiled counter, knead it briefly until smooth, and cut into 4 equal parts (or if your pans are large, cut into 3 parts).
- Roll dough into loaves, as if you're rolling up a sleeping bag, and plop into sprayed bread pans, seam side down.
- Put pans in oven (make sure its warm, but turned off).
- Let rise for 40 minutes, then turn oven to 350 degrees (leave the loaves in oven while it's heating), and set timer for 20-25 minutes.
- When loaves are a dark golden brown, remove from oven.
- Turn loaves out onto cloth, and lightly coat tops with butter or oil to keep them soft.
- Cover loaves with cloth while they cool.
