Jennifer’s Whole Wheat Bread

Combine:

2 Tbsp. yeast

½ cup warm water (sprinkle a little sugar on top to help yeast)

In Mixer:

5 cups warm water

7 cups ground wheat (fresh ground red wheat, white wheat, enkorn wheat in equal parts from Bluebird Grain Farms)

Add:

2 Tbsp. salt

⅔ cup oil

⅔ cup honey

Mix well. Add 4-6 (5 usually works well) more cups of flour and blend for 3-4 minutes on 1st setting. Add enough flour until it just starts to pull away from the edges. Mold into loaves (it will make 3 large or 4 small loaves that are about 1 lb. 13 oz. per loaf). Allow to rise until bread comes to the top of the pan. Bake at 325 degrees (True Convection setting for 28 minutes). Reading on Thermapen should be 190 degrees when done.
