Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 625 grams water, lukewarm (2 3/4 cup)
  • 17 grams instant yeast (Approx 2 tbsp.)
  • 800 grams fresh milled hard white wheat flour (Approx. 4 3/4-5 cups flour)
  • 50 grams avocado or olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • 85 grams honey (1/4 cup)
  • 5 grams sunflower lecithin (1/2 tbsp)
  • 60 grams vital wheat gluten (gluten flour) (Approx. 1/2 cup)
  • 8 grams salt (1/2 tbsp)
  • 1/8 tsp vitamin c powder optional

Method
 

  1. Add all of your ingredients except the oil, salt, and vitamin c powder to mixing bowl. Combine in mixer.
    * I like to add oil, salt, and vitamin c powder last to give the yeast time to wake up.
  2. Add in the oil, salt, and vitamin c powder and knead for 8 minutes or until windowpane is reached. Dough should pull away from sides of the bowl. If it seems too wet add in flour in small amounts until your dough pulls away.
  3. Let rise in an oiled bowl covered with plastic wrap, loose fitting lid, or a dish towel until doubled in size. About 45 min-1 hour.
  4. Punch down dough and shape loaves.
  5. Place in desired loaf pans, cover and do the second rise. (until doubled; about 45 minutes to an hour)
  6. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. (internal temp of 190°F)
  7. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. If you don't do this step it will be soggy. Cooling the couple of minutes in the pan helps it retain it's shape and minimize it from caving in on the sides.

Notes

This makes approximately 4- 1lb. loaves. This can vary with Measuring ingredients by volume versus weight, needing more or less moisture due to humidity or moisture in wheat berries, etc.
