I was at Smart & Final a couple weeks ago and, while wandering the isles, saw a brick of yeast.\u00a0 I decided to get it since it was only $2.50.\u00a0 I figured it was cheap enough to get to see if that was the problem with my yeast.\u00a0 The first batch of bread I made with the new yeast was for rolls.\u00a0 They turned out superb (I used mom’s recipe, so of course they were good).\u00a0 Last weekend I decided to take on the arduous task of grinding 6 cups of wheat by hand, and trying the recipe Vickie uses for wheat bread.\u00a0 After a few hours of grinding on and off, and calling Vickie for ideas for substitutions (I had potato perls not flakes) I finally got to making the bread.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My kitchenaid bowl is too small.\u00a0\u00a0I need to see if they make a larger bowl for the mixer I have, the kneader kept pushing the dough to the top of the bowl where it would get stuck.\u00a0 I ended up using a spatula to push the dough down while the mixer kneaded.\u00a0 It wasn’t fun.\u00a0 I think the kneading process was more tireing using the mixer than it would have been to knead it by hand.\u00a0 Anyway, I finally finished.\u00a0 The dough rose quite well.\u00a0 The recipe only calls for one rise, which I think helped.\u00a0 My biggest complaint before was that it would rise fine the first time, but wouldn’t rise the second time.\u00a0 Maybe that is a common problem among whole wheat breads.\u00a0 I don’t know.\u00a0 I don’t have time to learn bread science right now.\u00a0 Maybe sometime in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So at least I have one good way to make wheat bread.\u00a0 Now I have to find a recipe for the bread maker that works.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
