After attending a breadmaking class presented by my friends Betty Jo and Jill, I decided that the time had come for me to LEARN how to use my stored wheat! So, with camera in hand, I documented my first attempt at making bread from SCRATCH! My friend, Jeni Payne, showed up right when I was making the bread and since she uses the same recipe, gave me a few tips along the way. Check out the pictures...
This is the first time I've ever owned wheat so I had to take a picture of me opening it :-)
Wheat before grinding.
I made whole wheat flour with my new wheat grinder.
Here's my wheat flour.
Using my mixer to make the dough.
Putting the dough into the pans.
The ones in the glass pans rose beautifully, but the bigger metal pans not so well.
Finished product.
Want a slice?
Oops! These two didn't rise too well (but still tasted good).
I gave Greg the first slice.
Brooke loved the bread (and wanted to show her new shoes...she doesn't usually put her feet on the counter).

I have a Wonder Mill Grinder and a Bosch Universal Plus mixer.
Yeah Sarah, my friend that makes this recipe all the time, and coincidentally showed up at my house during my "attempt," just threw the dough in the pan and patted it down (I figured she knew what she was doing...LOL). I didn't do that to the ones in the glass pans, so you may be onto something there. You should share your recipe with me since you make bread so much!
Yes Pam! Put up the picture of your applesauce...I would totally trade (I wish you guys still lived here!!!).
And Jen, I will try Heidi's recipe. I should also try Mom's in the Bosch...I'll have a bread marathon in my attempts to find the perfect recipe!
