On Wednesday the boys and I went to a bread making class. Isaiah loved it. Elijah...well he didn't like how loud the grinder was so he didn't really want to participate. We learned about grinding whole grains into flour, what yeast does and why homemade bread is really good for you.
We used 100% whole wheat flour that we ground in the mill. You can use other flours as well or mix white with wheat etc. 2 1/2 c hot water1 egg1/3 cup oil1/3 cup honey1T salt mix I used the kitchen aid then add about 5 c flour and 1/4 c yeast Mix well then add flour until doughy not to dry , sticky to the touch knead well I used the kitchen aid again for about 10 min with dough hook attachment. Place in 2 loaf pans Cover with hot towel for about 15 min bake for 30 hr.
