How to: Mom's Homemade Whole Grain Bread

How to make whole grain bread from freshly milled flour
For this recipe, you will need
4 cups of freshly milled flour.
1 ½ cups of milk
¼ of oil (I like grapeseed oil)
1 Tablespoon of honey
2 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons of soy lecithin powder
And 1 tablespoon of yeast.
Warm the milk to 105 to 110 degrees. Then add the honey. Pour into a heat safe container, add yeast and let sit 10-20 minutes until the yeast bubbles up about an inch. Pour this mixture into your mixer.
Add the oil, lecithin, and two cups of flour. Mix until flour is moist. Then add the salt, do not add salt prior to this as salt kills yeast. Add the remaining flour and knead until dough is elastic--About 5 minutes.
Next, place the dough in a warm place and let rise, until doubled. Now, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
To form well shaped loaves, first roll out the dough and then roll dough into a loaf shape. This recipe will
make 3 small loaves, or 1 large loaf. Again, place the dough in a warm place and let rise until doubled.
Carefully place pan into warm oven and cook for 25-30 minutes. Place baked loaf in pan on cooling rack
for 5 minutes. Then remove from pan and cool more. Or serve warm.

where can I buy the mill? what make is it?> It looks great

[momsmentor]

@pradeepshah100 It is called the Family Grain Mill. You can purchase it at a number of places online. If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, you can actually purchase the mill attachment (a much cheaper alternative to buying the entire mill). There are also flaker (making your own oatmeal, etc) and grinder (for meats) attachments as well.

can I not add the soya thingy?

[momsmentor]

@alexxx1836 you do not have to use the soy lecithin.

[MrMadmax900]

I would not roll it flat like pizza dough as this will make a dense loaf. I would also add some ascorbic acid (vitamin c) to maintain freshness longer (almost 1 week).

[momsmentor]

@MrMadmax900 I can appreciate that. :) I've tried it both ways. It is somewhat dense either way because of the freshly milled whole wheat. I just do it that way because it forms a nicer shaped loaf. It still rises again after that though.

@momsmentor --I am so glad to see someone else making fresh milled bread! I used a hand grinder, but that's only because I burn calories grinding. LOL.. I add the vitamin C like madmax, but I do it because it smooths the bread texture. Never thought of soy lecithin And you're right, this bread is always more dense because it is fresh milled.
