Wheat Bread

Recipe submitted by Janet R.

2 cups warm water
1 1/2 Tbsp. yeast
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup honey or sugar
1/4 cup gluten
1/2 Tbsp. salt
4-5 cups whole wheat flour

Mix all ingredients together and add enough flour to keep
the dough from sticking to the bowl. You want a thicker
dough. Knead for 9 minutes in the mixer. Form loaves and
put into 2 regular loaf pans. Let rise 30 minutes. Put into
cold a oven and turn on oven to 350°. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
(Bread will rise more as oven heats up.)

Bread Sticks

Recipe submitted by Janet R.


This recipe can be used to make pizza as well as French bread.

1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. oil
4 1/2—5 cups flour

Mix the yeast into the warm water; add sugar and salt; mix
well. Add oil; stir in 1 cup of flour until well mixed. Add 1
more cup of flour and mix well. Keep adding flour 1/2 cup
at a time. When you can no longer stir the mixture, knead
until it is pliable. (Depending on the humidity, you may
use all of or only part of the flour.) Let dough rest for 10
minutes before making bread sticks, pizza or bread.
If making bread sticks, roll balls of dough into desired
shape. Let rise for 20 minutes (if desired); bake in a 350°
oven until golden brown.
