Whole Wheat Bread

Mill 12 C grain. I like 3 C each Bronze Chief, Prairie Gold, Kamut & Spelt

Pour 5½ cups moderately hot water, 110 degrees, into your Bosch bowl.
Add 6 cups freshly milled flour
2/3 cups each olive oil & honey
2 tablespoons SAF yeast

Mix well & let sponge (sit) for 20 minutes while the yeast dissolves & gets active.
Add 2 tablespoons each salt & dough enhancer
All but about 1cup of the fresh flour

Add enough flour until it starts to clean the sides of the bowl and the dough is tacky to touch. As it mixes, the dough will stiffen, so don't add too much flour. (You can add water if you have too much flour) Let your Bosch run on speed 2 until the gluten is developed. If you used just Prairie Gold, this will take about 7 minutes. If you used spelt or kamut, this will only take about 3 minutes. Test a ball of dough to see if it stretches like bubble gum. Then it is ready for bread pans. Preheat your oven to 200, about 5 minutes then turn off your oven. Divide your dough into 5 loaves or form into cinnamon rolls or pizza crusts or dinner rolls or hamburger buns. Let them rise in the warm oven for 20 minutes, then bake at 350 for 25 minutes. If your loaf reaches 180, then you know it's done.

To make cinnamon rolls, melt butter & stir in enough brown sugar to make a 'syrup' & add cinnamon. Roll out your dough on an oiled surface. Pour on the sweet mixture, add any nuts or dried fruit you wish, roll up, cut with dental floss or knife. Pour some sweet stuff in the bottom of your baking pan (I like to use a pie plate), let rise or freeze. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

To make a pizza crust, add some garlic, Italian seasoning, & parmesan cheese to the dough.
