Let us know how your bread turns out. DH needs to make some more before we run out.
Yum. Love fresh homemade bread. I always want to eat it hot out of the oven. DH says I have to let it cool.
Yesterday I baked two loaves of whole wheat bread. The first on was taken out and baked in the oven, that worked fine, the second I let it go till the end, and that worked too, Now I need to freeze all that, but I am trying my hardest to know how to knead my Health bread in there. I halved the recipe, I must have gotten too much flour in it, it's really stiff, I have it rising now, soon to be put in the bread pan. I am thinking, it's heavier because I also have oatmeal, bran, raisins in it besides the flour, whole wheat and bread flour. In my recipe which I've done for years, is putting boiling water over the oatmeal, wheat bran, raisins, oil, and waiting for it to cool a bit before putting the blackstrap mossasses and yeast in. Then the cup of whole wheat flour and the rest bread flour. I am thinking that first, soaking the oatmeal etc. and then put it in the bread maker to knead with the flour, that would work better. I would put all in with the liquid except flour, add that after everything is in, and just knead it.
Hope that will work.
