Bakin'

Unlike Mom and Dad, we have an oven that works.  After we got married, I decided that I would make our bread so we could save a little grocery money and have tastier, healthier bread.  This is the result of the second round of bread baking.

And this is the recipe I use.  I customized it from the Scoresby family cookbook.

Whole Wheat Bread

5 c warm water

1/2 c honey

2 T yeast

2 eggs, beaten

1/3 c oil

2 T salt

5 c white flour

11-12 c wheat flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water and honey until yeast bubbles and rises to top.  Mix in eggs, oil, and salt, Add 5 c white flour and let rest until bubbles rise to surface.  Mix in wheat flour, first with spoon, then with hand.  When dough separates from side of bowl, turn out unto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.  Let rise and punch down 3 times.  Form into 3 large loaves or 4 regular.  Let rise.   Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
