Tasty Tuesday

My Brother taught me how to make bread last week. First time I've ever used yeast and waited on it to rise. It was exciting to learn and not so hard. He will also teach a class tonight at our R/S Supper at 7:00. He's not been doing it for long, he just learned how back in the fall. It's really good. I'm excited to see if I can do it again with out his help. Should be interesting.
Whole Wheat Bread

3 cups very warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Salt

Mix together then add
1 Tablespoon Yeast

Let sit 15 minutes

Add 1/3 cup of oil
7 cups of flour

Knead for 15 minutes

Let rise until double (about 1 hour)

Form loaves, put in greased pans.
Let rise again until double.
(about 1/2 hour)

Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
I used my Kitchen aid mixer with the dough hook. Every thing is done in it except when you pull it out to put it into the pans for baking. I never touched it until then. The machine does all the kneading. Yea!
There is a bloggy anniversary giveaway, over at Scrappy Sue's click here to check it out!

So, do you use all whole wheat flour and instant yeast I'm guessing? You will have to let us know how well it keeps. I've perfected rolls and they last a long time, but loaves of bread always seem to get stale after a day!

This bread is YUMMY!!! Sandy has given me some in the past. Come to think of it, I haven't had any lately. I think it's about time for some more bread. I want more! I want more! PLEASE :)

Your bread came out perfect Gigi! Having the butter right next to your loaves is such a tease! My feelings wouldn't be hurt if you wanted to share ;-)

Ah, the illusive homemade bread. Nothing is better and yet nothing is so far out of my reach...

There is nothing better than homemade bread. Beware, when I made homemade bread is when I started putting on the pounds & they are not easy to get rid of. The bread is worth it!

I had 2 or 3 thick slices with honey butter. It was very good But I cant handle all of that fiber!
