Fresh Wheat Bread

( This isn't my bread.. But when I make another load I'll put mine up.)

1 & 1 TBS of warm water
1 TBS. of honey
1 tsp of Yeast
1 tsp of vital wheat gluten ( found by the flour in baking aisles.)
2 Tbs of butter
1 Tbs of of powder milk
2 Tbs if brown sugar
9 oz of red wheat berry*
9 oz of white wheat berry*
( I use a plastic 9 oz plastic cup to measure, it turns out to be about 1-1/2 C. ground.)
If you need a bit more flour, you can grind a bit more or you can just fill in the rest with normal ol' wheat or white flour.
1Tbs of Salt

Let your yeast, gluten, sugar/honey disolve in warm water til foamy add rest of ingrediants.
Let raise for about 30-45 min or double in size.
At first the dough will look like.. well, not dough but a garbled mess.. that okay.. keep mixing it and it will start to ball up just like a good dough should. give it 10 min or so.
you dough will shape easilly and will be firmer then reg. white.
Punch down and shape into loaf. raise again for about 30-45 min
Bake @350 for about 30 min
Makes 1 Loaf

YOu don't have a wheat grinder? well, go get one!!! you can get a hand grinder one for about 50-75 bucks at a kitchen store and it only takes 10 -15 min. to grind all you need. (electric one are super cool,super fast... but super expensive.) Trust me it is soo fresh and very worth it.


If you just want to use regular wheat flour that works too.( I won't claim it's Just as good. But since you won't have the freshly grounded wheat to compare it too. It's still really pretty tasty.)

* I don't know if you can get wheat berry in a store or not. But if you jump online and go to LDS homestorage webstite. I think you can order from there. Or if you live close to Amish country.. they have great prices and huge bulk on both. ( it's where I got mine.)
