Bread

I make this bread a couple times a month and freeze the loaves. It is an awesome recipe. So healthy and yummy!!! I got it from my sister-in-law, Louisa, who got it from Sarah's Mom and just tweaked it a bit.


I grind my own wheat, so I use more white flour than this recipe says because otherwise the bread doesn't rise very well!! I read on a package of a case of flour that I bought once that if you use 1Tbsp of lemon juice per 5 cups of flour it helps rise the bread and interacts with the gluten or something or other. Anyways, it helps make a yummy loaf!! Also, this recipe is so versatile. If you want only white bread, than just use white flour and you don't have to use red river!!


I have a convection oven so I put all 5 loaves in at the same time at 350. Enjoy!

  3. Here's a tip if you're making the original whole wheat recipe.

    I always found that my bread wouldn't rise as well with all the whole wheat flour, but I didn't want to add so much white flour. SO... after following the original recipe, I ended up adding 2 Tbsp of liquid Lecithin (along with the honey). It makes it rise like crazy! I found my lecithin at Superstore in the organic food section. It works like a charm! :)

    1. PS- Lecithin is suuuuper sticky and it will take forever to get it off of your TBSP measuring thing... so just eyeball it and pour it straight from the container. Trust me.

  4. Sweet, thanks noelle. Heather was telling me she uses that stuff with her buns so that they will rise quicker!
