Crustmasters INC

OK, put this together with Tuzia Tootle's fresh-ground whole wheat flour. Let is raise over warm water 1-1/2 hours, then rolled into loaves and let it raise to double (again over warm water).
  • 2 tbsp dry yeast

  • 2 cups water

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 6-1/2 cups flour

Baked 30 minutes at 375.

Taste test when it cools, but the crust sounds OK when it is thumped. Loaves about 4" high out of a 4-1/2 x 11 pan.

  1. The batch of bread you made after this one is perfect (& I don't even like bread!) So far today I've had 2 slices of toast w/ my turkey roast & a garlic spinach egg sandwich when I came home. Crusty and light, not sweet at all. I vote this your best bread yet.

    P.s. - so, when does this bread start putting weight on me already?

  2. That was all white flour. The whole wheat doesn't have enough gluten to hold the bread together.

    I liked the last batch best, myself. Prolly will stick with that formula.

    PS - bread is not the answer. You need to change ancestors.
