BREAD

My Favorite Bread Recipe



EZ Wheat Bread     makes 4 large loaves or 5 medium loves

5 cups warm water

2 Tbs. Yeast (I use SAF yeast which I add to the dry ingredients rather than in the water)

½ cup oil (applesauce works too)

½ cup honey ( or I usually use brown sugar)

1/3 cup wheat gluten

3 Tbs. Dough enhancer (I always use 3 Tbs. Vinegar)

¾ cup potato flakes (not potato pearls) (I purchase at church cannery)

1/3 cup non instant dry milk  (I purchase at church cannery)

2 Tbs. Salt

About 10 to 12 cups whole wheat flour ( I have used red wheat and white wheat)

    Mix ingredients in mixing bowl with dough hook for 12 to 15 minutes.  Take out and put dough ball on an oiled or floured counter and cut into fourths. Shape into loaves and place into greased bread pans. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour or until it is the desired size (depends on weather). Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 min. Take out of pans and place on cooling racks.

Makes delicious sandwich bread. Not thick and dry or crumbly.

The front 2 loaves are white wheat, the back 2 are white wheat with cinnamon chips.

Had to hurry and take a picture cause the cinnamon  bread disappeared!

YUMMY!!

See how easy that was. No need to let it rise, punch it down and rise again. Just one time then bake. Plus look at how many food storage items you used. It's easy to rotate your food when you are using it regularly.

If you would like to have a loaf of bread a day for a year, this is what you will need to store. This is for a typical bread recipe with little ingredients. If your recipe is different, like mine is, then add to your storage as needed.
