You know the kind - the moist, melt-in-your mouth, perfect, old-fashioned-flavor kind of bread.... the one that calls for fresh ground whole wheat flour.... the kind of bread that has all that healthy stuff - oh and the one that requires kneading. by hand. Yeah - thaaaaaaat recipe! But, believe me, it is so worth it!
(This recipe is being offered in reference to this post.)
Grandma Shirley's Homemade Bread
Yield: 6 large loaves (or about 10 mini loaves)
6 cups warm water
2 pkgs (or 2 TBsp) yeast
3 Tbsp salt
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 c. powdered milk
1/3 c. instant potatoes
16 + cups of whole wheat, fresh ground flour
*1 1/4 cups gluten (trust me, this is necessary when using the freshly ground whole wheat flour)
*If you are just using regular white flour bought from the store, then the gluten is not necessary.
You will need a very large mixing bowl for this. (This recipe is too big for a Kitchen-Aid.) Mix warm water & yeast. Add salt, sugar, oil, eggs, powdered milk & potatoes. Mix in flour. Knead and let rise until double in size (about 2 hours). Push down and let rise again. (about an hour to an hour and a half). Make loaves and let rise again (about an hour). Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes (large loaves) and 15-20 minutes for mini-loaves. Remove from pans and butter loaves. Place on cooling rack. Once completely cooled, seal in freezer bags.
The following are my own personal reminders but I strongly recommend this site for even more in-depth tips - you'll need them, especially if this is your first time making bread:
