1) Pour water into your container of choice.
-
2
I use a 2 gallon tupper-ware container (but I would love to find a glass or ceramic container!
-
3
).
-

2) Add Salt and yeast.
-
5
3) Add wheat flour and wheat germ.
-
6
Stir until flour is no longer clumpy.
-
7
4) Add white flour, 2 cups at a time.
-
8
Stir in in between with a wooden spoon.
-
9
(If you have a mixer that can handle bread dough by all means use it!
-
10
I don't so I add the four gradually and mix thoroughly with my wooden spoon).
-
11
5) Cover loosely, (I use my tupper-ware lid and just do not secure it, or you could use a towel.)
-
12
Let sit on the counter for 2 hours.
-
13
(I do not find that heat, or no heat makes a difference).
-
14
6) Dough can now be used for bread of choice or stored in the fridge.
-
15
To bake:.
-
16
Make sure you have flour ready to keep your hands covered.
-
17
The dough is very sticky.
-
18
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
-
19
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.
-
20
Bake 30 minute.
-
21
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.
-
22
(sometimes I skip this step).
-
23
Cross the top with a sharp knife and bake 400 degrees for 30-35 minute
-
24
To make a loaf to slice: Follow directions as above only after kneading in additional flour use a rolling pin to roll dough out.
-
25
Roll like a jelly roll and pinch the ends.
-
26
You may slice the top with a sharp knife).
-
27
To use for pizza dough: Follow as above but roll out to fit your pizza pan.
-
28
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.
-
29
( a thin crust turns into a wonderfully crispy crust, a thicker crust bubbles up and makes a thick chewy crust).
-

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.
-
34
I have found that these proportions last us for sandwiches for lunch and a loaf for dinner.
-
35
Our menu dictates how often I make it but it is about every other or every third day.
-
36
But it is so easy it is not a big deal to thow it all in the bin and forget about it till later.
