Wheat Bread

  • 2 1/2 tsp Yeast
  • 2 cups warm water
  • dash of sugar
  • 1/2 c evaporated milk (can use regular milk if needed)
  • 1/4 c melted butter
  • 1 TB salt
  • 1/4 c raw honey
  • 3 cups wheat flour
  • 3 cups white flour
  • 1/4 cup flax seed*
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal*
  • 1 1/2 TB dough enhancer*
  • 1-2 TB vital wheat gluten (your preference)*
  • 1 TB coconut oil for greasing bowl and pans
  • 2 TB for butter to slather after bread is done
*Not required for delicious bread.

Start your yeast (warm water, yeast, and sugar) and let it bubble for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk your melted butter, evaporated milk, salt, and honey. Do it by hand so it is nice and mixed before adding the flour and yeast.

Add about 3 cups of wheat flour, along with the yeast mixture and mix well.

Add flax seed, oatmeal, and dough helpers.

Add about 1-2 cups of this white flour, add this carefully because you want your dough to pull away from the sides but not be too dry. You will know your dough is really done when it doesn't totally stick to your fingers. Have some sticky-ness so that when it's risen, you can knead it with a little more white flour. 

While it is mixing grease bowl and plastic wrap with coconut oil. Put dough in bowl and let rise 90 minutes.

Punch down dough to get rid of air bubbles. Divide into two and knead into flour until smooth. Roll out into oblong rectangle then roll and put into greased pan. ***Its delicious to mix cinnamon, sugar and butter and rollup into it before baking.

Cover with towel and set on over while it preheats to 375 degrees and let rise another 20-25 minutes.

Bake at 375 for 25 minute. Cover generously with butter. Let cool completely before storing.
