Fresh Milled Bread and Muffins
Fresh Milled Loaf
Hot water, 355 grams / 1.5 cups
Olive oil, 1/3 cup
Local honey, 1/3 cup
Real salt, 2 tsp
Fresh milled flour (3 C grains = 4 C flour), 600 grams milled flour
Rice bran, 1 tbs
Yeast, 1 tbs
~ Mill wheat berries into flour: (I use hard red and Kamut)
~ In a bowl or bread machine pan, add: hot water, oil, honey, and salt. Then add the flour and the rice bran. Then add 1 tbs yeast.
~ Mix until you have soft dough. Kneed the dough on a flour surface for 5-6 minutes. Or put into bread machine, in the order above and hit start on homemade setting.
~ If by hand:
~ Place in glass bowl, cover with flour cloth and let rise in a warm place (set outside or use proofing setting on oven).
~ When the dough has risen to double the size, punch down and kneed a couple times.
~ Let rise again to double the size.
~ Punch down and shape. Place in a 2lb bread pan (I use USA Brand). Let rise a 3rd time.
~ Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Cool a bit, remove from pan. Spread a bit of butter or EVOO on the top and sprinkle with pink Himalayan or REAL salt. Continue to cool on a rack for hours.
