Basic 100 Whole Wheat Bread

This recipe is fantastic! i am not a bread maker, and this, in true reality, has been the only bread i have ever made without a feeling of helplessness. i am usually at a loss, and feel completely uneasy with making breads, but this recipe has helped tame that fear. i make it easier on myself by using a kitchen mixer for everything, so i dont have to mix it or knead it. i also love the fact that this recipe calls for no eggs, and no refined sugar. it uses honey to be a natural sweetener, and let me tell you it is delicious!!! i got this recipe from a bread making class that i went to with some church friends. you do not have to use the gluten, enhancer, or lecithin which is what makes it basic, but i want to tell you that i get a much better product by using the first two. i, personally, have never used lecithin.

Steps

In mixing bowl , and in this order , combine water , oil , honey , lecithin , the initial 8 cups flour , vital wheat gluten , dough enhancer , yeast , and salt.

Mix until fully combined , and then let it sit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes , it should have risen a little , so mix the mixture again and then add in the additional 6 cups flour and mix until the dough is not sticky and all the flour is mixed in well.

Now , knead the dough for 10 minutes , and the dough , at this point , should look smooth.

Divide the dough into 5-6 equal loaves.

Put in well greased pans and then let dough rise until fully risen.

The way i can tell is by lightly pushing in on the dough , and if the dough does not come back out , or comes out very slowly , then it is ready.

Put bread into a cold oven , and turn on the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 35 minutes.

When it comes out , you can put butter on the top of it.

It is a great bread !.

For the cinnamon rolls and pizza dough , you will place.
