Many people do not understand why certain things are removed from flour when wheat is milled. Wheat germ is a fat and goes rancid very quickly, and the bran cuts gluten to shreds during kneading, resulting in a very dense, heavy loaf in breads that use 100% wheat flour. The wheat bread I make uses a 60/40 ratio of fresh ground hard red winter wheat flour and white bread flour + honey, molasses, kosher salt, and butter, though you can use any fat you like. Great stuff! and very healthy too!
There is a huge difference between hard wheat and soft wheat in making yeast breads. Hard flours have far more gluten, which I have no problem with, but higher gluten flour needs much more water to reach the same texture in the dough. I am sceptical about this recipe because the bread sounds like it would come out extremely dense. IMO, good wheat bread MUST have at least a little white bread flour to be any good. King Arthur flours are all natural and make excellent, healthy bread.
Lady, you don't mess around. Bing, bang, boom and you're done. Great job. Very fast though. Maybe slow down and tell us a little more like what kind of wheat, why only 10 min rise.
I used to use the hard white. Either of the ones you are using is good. Make sure you have good yeast and are using warm water so the yeast will rise.
I have switched over to spelt berries because they do not have as much gluten and are easier to digest. Just a thought for later. Take your time, you will get it!
What kind of wheat berries are you using? Being new to this and a little overzealous I bought the only organic wheat berries I could find in my area which were Hard red and soft white, I have been having trouble getting anything other then a dense heavy loaf.
O my gosh, I couldnt watch the video because you talk way too fast! Slow down a little bit....
