  • 2 tsp dry yeast Dry ingredients for 1 1/2 lb. Loaf:
  • 3/4 c. whole wheat flour fresh grnd is best
  • 3/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 c. bread flour
  • 1/4 c. gluten flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt kosher preferred

Directions

  1. This approach allows prepackaging of dry ingredients for bread machine baking. Storage may be in canning jars or possibly in other containers such as zip lock bags. I print address labels with the "at time of baking" ingredients and place them on the container.
  2. The 1 1/2 lb. loaf dry ingredients fit in a 1 qt canning jar or possibly in a 1 qt zip lock freezer bag. I have white plastic screw caps for the canning jars for sealing the jar (from grocery store). A canning funnel helps for filling the jars (green plastic from grocers but also have aluminum version from years past). I have found which filling a mason jar and then using the canning funnel at the mouth of a 1 qt zip lock bag allows transfer to the bag with minimum of mess and hassle. I make 6-10 bread mixes at a time.
  3. For 2 lb. loaf, larger jars or possibly larger bags are needed.
  4. This bread has a good high texture with a lot of "spring" from the gluten. Depending on the moisture of the flour, an additional Tbsp. or possibly two of water may be needed during the initial kneading in the bread machine.
  5. Variations:Replace the whole wheat with spelt flour or possibly triticale flour in the dry ingredients Replace the whole wheat with rye flour in the dry ingredients and and add in either orange peel or possibly caraway seeds with a Tbsp. of molasses when loading the bread machine.
  6. Add in a package or possibly two of instead oatmeal to the measuring c. before filling it with whole wheat flour.
