Making Bread

Jess' Mom gave me the best recipe for bread! It is SO quick, easy and so little "hands on" - which for someone with sensory (read:slimy stuff touching my hands!) issues it is PERFECT! *wink*

Johanne's Whole Wheat Bread

(Which tastes more like half & half)

2 3/4 cup steaming hot water

1 1/4 T. yeast

1 1/2 *heaping* T. Dough enhancer

1/3 cup oil

1/3 cup honey (if you do the oil first the honey comes right out of the measuring cup *grin*)

3/4 T. salt

Start adding fresh ground Whole Wheat Four (Start with 6 cups)

Continue adding flour in 1/2 cup increments until dough pulls away from sides. (up to 10-12 cups of flour)

Knead in mixer with dough hook for 10 minutes.

While kneading turn oven on to 170. After kneading completes, turn oven off.

Shape dough into 2 loaves and place in greased loaf pans (turning over once to grease tops). Place in warm oven (do not turn back on yet) for 30 minutes.

Turn oven back on after 30 minutes to 350 (leaving loaves in oven) and Bake for 30 minutes.

Tip out of pans to cool on racks.

Freezes beautifully. YUM! Bread in an hour! YEA!!
