So after milling, you used the exact amount in the recipe? I ask b/c I have heard that when using freshly milled flour in a "regular" recipe that the amount should be adjusted as the milling fluffs the flour giving an inaccurate measurement.

Your jar looks like it's working beautifully!!

- that's a 6-3-3-13 recipe (with a little added oil/honey and a little added gluten)

It's "freshly" milled that's been in my freezer for about a week - so it's had time to 'settle'. It's really wet, sticky dough right now (but it's supposed to be that way

) We'll see how it bakes out tomorrow.

I'm interested in how it turns out.

I noticed that you're adding gluten. How do you decide the amount? I usually add gluten and lecithin to my bread machine bread, but I don't know enough about making bread to just guess for these new recipes.

I added 3 TBS to the 6-3-3-13. I 'tweaked' it a bit
I used:
@ 1/3 cup coconut oil (I melted it first)
3 TBS yeast
3 TBS coarse sea salt
1 cup honey
5 1/2 cups water (no milk - we are dairy free, and reduced the water because of the honey)
13 cups HARD wheat flour
3 TBS gluten.

I've had great success baking 'standard' bread with this particular wheat *without* the gluten added. I probably could have done with out it, but I fear flat bread.

Oh, good, that is what my whole wheat looks like too... I love that jar!

You guys, serious, get the book! I have it out from the library, and there are SO many recipes, as well as tips and tricks for adjusting the recipes or troubleshooting or whatever. I'm totally going to order it from Amazon.

Question:

How long does bread take to completely cool? I know it's important to let it cool before slicing (as it keeps cooking while it cools), but I keep underestimating how long it needs to cool before we can eat it... (Like tonight, the soup is ready, but the bread's still hot).

Thanks,
Heather

Mert · 01-07-2009, 06:46 PM

I'll have to play around with mine... I'm still doing half batches as I don't have a great big ol' container yet.

Blue Savannah · 01-07-2009, 07:18 PM

Isn't about two hours standard cooling time?

We ate our hot....it was a little sticky and flattened some when I cut it...but still yummy!

Is this anything like the bread I posted about here? If so, it's awesome.

Herbwifemama · 01-07-2009, 07:33 PM

Is the water needed to make the crunchy crust? Cause I forgot it this time, and the crust wasn't "crusty", but I also used white whole wheat for the first time, so...

Naked Camper · 01-07-2009, 07:56 PM

so is it bad that i'm home alone - it's 9pm and i'm seriously thinking about baking a loaf just for me

better than eating ice cream, right?

AFA the water - I used water and actually had a better, more tender crust than when I did it w/o the water

I think ours was good after about an hour. It wasn't hot, but just nicely warm....the butter still melted after a minute or two.

It's from a book by the same authors so I'd say yes, and I totally agree. It is awesome!!
