Daily Bread -Wheat
Ingredients:
water, bottled, generic
salt, table
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
wheat germ, crude
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
Directions:
1) Pour water into your container of choice.
I use a 2 gallon tupper-ware container (but I would love to find a glass or ceramic container!
).
2) Add Salt and yeast.
3) Add wheat flour and wheat germ.
Stir until flour is no longer clumpy.
4) Add white flour, 2 cups at a time.
Stir in in between with a wooden spoon.
(If you have a mixer that can handle bread dough by all means use it!
I don't so I add the four gradually and mix thoroughly with my wooden spoon).
5) Cover loosely, (I use my tupper-ware lid and just do not secure it, or you could use a towel.)
Let sit on the counter for 2 hours.
(I do not find that heat, or no heat makes a difference).
6) Dough can now be used for bread of choice or stored in the fridge.
To bake:.
Make sure you have flour ready to keep your hands covered.
The dough is very sticky.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
To make Rolls for hamburgers or sandwiches: Sprinkle corn meal on your baking sheet (I use a stone) Flour hands and pull of a piece of dough about the size of a tennis ball, form and place on your baking sheet.
Bake 30 minute.
To make a round loaf: Follow directions as above only used a well floured surface to kneed additional flour into the dough so that it is a nice elastic dough.
(sometimes I skip this step).
Cross the top with a sharp knife and bake 400 degrees for 30-35 minute
To make a loaf to slice: Follow directions as above only after kneading in additional flour use a rolling pin to roll dough out.
Roll like a jelly roll and pinch the ends.
You may slice the top with a sharp knife).
To use for pizza dough: Follow as above but roll out to fit your pizza pan.
Pierce with a fork, and bake 400 for about 15 minute Top with toppings and place back in the oven for 10-15 min depending on toppings and crust thickness.
( a thin crust turns into a wonderfully crispy crust, a thicker crust bubbles up and makes a thick chewy crust).
To make cinnamon rolls: follow as above.
Roll out jelly roll style and coat with melted butter and cinnamon sugar.
Roll jelly roll style and slice.
Bake at 375 for about 40 min -- watch them it depends on how thick they are.
I have found that these proportions last us for sandwiches for lunch and a loaf for dinner.
Our menu dictates how often I make it but it is about every other or every third day.
But it is so easy it is not a big deal to thow it all in the bin and forget about it till later.
