Tammy’s Whole Wheat Bread
- 4 c. warm water (about 110 – 115 degrees)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice
- 2 Tbs. instant dry yeast
- 13-15 cups freshly milled flour
1. Combine first seven ingredients and about 8 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl; stir until combined. ( I use a Bosch mixer.)
2. Add about 5 cups more flour and yeast. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adding additional flour as needed until dough stops sticking to the bowl (5-10 minutes). Cover and let rise until double in size (about 40 minutes).
3. Punch dough down; separate into four even amounts of dough. Knead each piece of dough by hand a few times and form into loaves. Place in loaf pans lined with parchment paper. Let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
4. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Let bread cool for a few minutes before removing the loaves from the pans.
