Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 1/2 to 5 cups Hard Red Wheat flour
  • 1 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower lecithin powder
  • 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten

Equipment

  • Grain Mill
  • Stand mixer
  • Measuring cups/utensils
  • Loaf pans

Method
 

  1. Mill the wheat berries on fine setting.
  2. Combine water, oil, honey, salt, egg, lecithin, and gluten. Whisk together.
  3. Secure bowl to the mixer. With dough hook attached, add half the milled flour and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add second half of flour, cover and autolyze for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the yeast.
  6. Start the kneading process on medium speed for as long as it takes to form a smooth and elastic ball of dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl.
  7. Cover and let rise until double.
  8. Take dough out of the bowl onto a clean surface. Shape as desired and place into loaf pans. Cover again and let rise until double. Pre-heat oven to 350deg F during last 15 minutes of second rise.
  9. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes, checking at 15 minutes to make sure it is not getting dark. Cover with foil if desired. Once taken out of the oven, cool completely before slicing.

Notes

It's best to let the loaves cool completely before slicing.
