Bread

This is the best bread recipe I have come across so far, amazing! It is delicious and so easy. 1 hour from start to finish! Also, it ends up being around 25 cents per loaf which could save you a lot of money. The secret ingredient is the liquid lecithin for sure.


Whole Wheat Bread
2 ¼ cups white bread flour (do not sift)
3 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup quick oats
¼ cup brown sugar (you could also use white sugar or honey)
1 ½ tsp salt
1 ½ rounded Tbsp T Saf instant yeast
1 ½ Tbsp liquid lecithin (dough enhancer-- We bought it online)
2 cups hot tap water
½ cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
***I also add vital wheat gluten to help the bread bind so it doesn't crumble. This makes it great for making sandwiches.

White bread
5 ¼ cups white bread flour. Do not sift. (can buy it at lehi roller mills, costco or bosch. Bag with peacock)
¼ cup sugar (white brown, or honey)
1 ½ tsp salt
1 ½ rouded Saf-instant yeast (can buy it at Macey’s & keep it in the freezer after opening)
1 ½ Tbsp liquid lecithin (dough enhancer, I bought mine online)
2 cups hot tap water
***I also add vital wheat gluten to help the bread bind.

Instructions
Mix dry ingredients with regular hook to evenly mix yeast. Add lecithin, water and applesauce. Mix for 1 minute with a dough hook and check consistency, must be sticky. If dough is too dry, add more water. If dough is too moist, add flour. Mix white bread for 5 more minutes or whole wheat bread for 10 minutes. (Do not add flour or water to the dough after it has finished mixing).

Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. Let rise for 25 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Yield= 2 loaves of bread

1 year supply
4 bottles of Lecithin
6 25 lb bags flou
6 pkg yeast

  4. Do you have a website for the lecithin and wheat gluten. I don't think I've ever seen these things in S.C.
