i made my first official batch of bread the other day. i was so excited. i got an early birthday present this year and i've already started using it. an electric wheat grinder. it's about time i start putting all of that wheat in my food storage to some good use. this is hands down the best 'wheat' recipe i've ever had. granted there is a learning curve (or at least for me) i need to work on panning my loaves to look a little better, but it tasted great. almost as good as my mom's and sisters.
14 Grain Bread
6 cups hot tap water
2 cups 9-grain cereal
1/3 cup millet
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup flax seeds (cracked in blender)
1/3 cup amaranth
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
4 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup gluten flour
3 T. dough enhancer
2/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup honey
2 T. sea salt
3 T. saf yeast
Thoroughly combine ingredients, adding yeast last. Let dough rise for 10 minutes. Add additional whole wheat flour (about 6 cups) until mixture cleans sides of bowl. Knead 12 minutes on low. Shape into 5 large loaves. Let rise until double in size, in warm oven (about 15 minutes).

yummy! fresh bread is the best!
guess I will have to make use of Craig and Carol's wheat grinder while I am here! (I am just assuming they have one.....they seem to have every other gadget!)
Way to go!!! Did you ever find dough enhancer? I could ship some to you. I really like the bread better with dough enhancer. Happy Eating!
Wow, I am so impressed! And also jealous that you got a wheat grinder. I would love to start doing this. I wish I could come over and eat some of the yummy bread. :)
Hopefully as life settles down I can start doing things like this, too! It looks delicious!!
