I keep getting requests for my bread recipe so here you go!
4 cups of warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons of yeast
1/2 cup honey (try local honey it's delicious!)
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
Let liquids and yeast get bubbly about 15 mins
4 cups white flour
4 cups wheat flour
Add flour and mix I usually use my hands, keep white out for kneading
knead for 8 minutes adding extra white flour as you go. let rise until twice the size and punch, knead again separate and set in 3 pans let rise about 10 mins. Don't forget to butter pans and the top of your bread before baking, I usually will add the dough to the buttered pan then flip it over so the top is buttered evenly.
cook at 350 for 30-35 mins until top is golden brown. Take out of oven and butter the top again then set on cute towels to cool for an extra homey look!
i discovered why your bread tastes so much better than my wheat bread... because you use home milled wheat! it sure does make a difference... makes me want my wheat grinder even more now!
