100 % Whole Wheat Bread image

This bread is made with ground up wheat using a wheat grinder and the Bosch machine. I'm sure any kitchen mixer (with dough hook) could be used. This is the recipe I make all the time (and have for the past 15 years). A grinding machine does pay for itself in more ways than one. One bushel of wheat will buy about 3 to 4 loaves of bread or you could grind your own wheat and make 65-70 loaves of nutrious whole wheat bread. and the taste MMMMM

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 -9 cups wheat
3 tablespoons oil (canola is best)
4 1/2 cups warm water (80 degrees, tepid)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons instant yeast (rounded)
2 tablespoons bread enhancer (rounded)
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Grind 8 or 9 cups of wheat in the kitchen mill.
  • (Add about 1/2 cup millet and 1/2 cup flax seed).
  • Put oil, water, dough enhancer and honey into bosch bowl.
  • Jog (or pulse) a few times to mix.
  • Add approximately 6 cups of flour and jog to moisten the flour.
  • Add yeast and salt.
  • If you would like to add whole grains (eg millet or flax) add them at this time instead of grinding it with the flour at the beginning.
  • Start machine gradually adding flour and let it moisten before adding more.
  • You have added enough flour when the dough begins to leave the bottom of the bowl.
  • The sides will clean as it kneads.
  • Knead 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and shape into 4 loaves.
  • (8"x4" greased pans).
  • Cover with tea towel and plastic sheet.
  • Let rise until double in volume, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F-375°F and bake for 30 minutes.
  • The bread is done when it clearly leaves the sides of the pan and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom with your finger.
  • Place on a cooling rack.
  • Prep time includes standing time.
  • Note: dough enhancer can usually be purchased where you purchase the wheat or possibly at a health food store.
