Wheat Bread

6 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. bread flour
1 Tbs & 1 tsp of yeast (sorry - I don't use packets - what is that, 2 packets?)
2/3 c. milk
1/2 c. honey
2 c. warm water (about 120 deg)
2 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. olive oil


dilute the honey in the water & pour the yeast in - do not let it sit more than 5 min!


then, combine all wet & all dry ingred. seperatley
knead & let rise for an hour in a warm place
punch down & fill your pans - I made rolls & bullet bread.
put in the oven for about an hour at 350 deg. - fabulous!


So - bullet bread. My mom used to make bullet bread for us when we were little - it's completely a UT thing to do - but it's only been passed down though some families - it hasn't really "caught on" You get juice in a can - only apple & pineapple really work - the others leave an after taste of the juice in your bread. Dump the juice - really, you don't need over processed, sugary juices & for the cost of the "pan" it's worth it. then let it go through your dishwasher. TaDa! It's ready to be used! roll your loaf, like normal & just slip it in the pan - make sure when you cook it, you are taking out one of the racks in your oven. After it bakes & you take it out, you'll realize why they call it bullet bread :)


Variation - I sprouted wheat & once it had a small "tail" I put them through the processor & added it to my bread - when you add things, add it with the wet ingredients. I used 2/3 c. of wheat (measured when it was dry). Adds to the fiber & healthiness of the bread.


You can also use this recipe for cinnamon rolls! The bread won't need to be sweeter - just make sure when you make your cinnamon rolls you are using brown sugar (dark is best) & cinnamon for the filling on the inside - and also, don't forget - when making cinnamon rolls, butter is always better!
