Whole Grain Dough Recipe


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey or sucanat
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. gluten (optional)
1 T lecithin
4 - 4 1/2 cups freshly milled flour
1 T yeast

In a mixer with a dough hook, combine water, oil, honey/sucanat, and salt. Add yeast and 4 cups of flour. Mix until smooth. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough is only slightly sticky. Allow mixer to knead the dough until smooth and elastic- about 5-6 minutes.



This will make 2 one pound loaves. Roll dough out on a slightly floured surface and roll up into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow dough to rise until double in size.


Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Place loaf on a cooling rack to cool completely. Or you can eat it hot with fresh butter and honey!

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, and the bread freezes well!
