Mostly out of habit; partly out of not knowing any better. I finally checked out yeast types on the internet and realized two risings aren't necessary when using instant yeast. One rising is enough before baking. Check out yeast types on the internet to clarify.TLeaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523826862823244047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-26145938492955370002010-02-10T17:10:59.092-07:002010-02-10T17:10:59.092-07:00I actually made this by hand because I don't h...I actually made this by hand because I don't have a stand mixer -- but now I'm looking into getting one because BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED!! Lots and lots of flour. But, I must say, the bread rose very nicely. The best I've gotten from any bread I've been making. Did let it rise about 10 minutes longer, just to over the lip of the pan, but it got much higher as it was baking. Very nice. I would also like to know what size KitchenAid you're using that can handle that much dough and not kill the machine. Love your site. -- Thanks From Snowy PennsylvaniaTLeaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523826862823244047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-91174413279395134322009-09-09T08:43:31.769-06:002009-09-09T08:43:31.769-06:00My family went nuts over this bread recipe!

But all the recipes i tried say to let the dough rise two times. Once after the kneading, right in the same bowl for 45 -60 min or more, and then second time in the pans for 45-60 min. <BR/>In your recipe you put the dough right in the pans and let it rise once. <BR/>Or did i miss something. Unless the first 10 min rise with the part of the flour was the first rise and then after adding the second portion of flour was the second rise? <BR/>As a newbie, i'm afraid that i missed something in the instructions.<BR/>My second question: in order to half the recipe, do i reduce everything by half or are there any special rules/tips concerning the yeast, lemon juice, honey, gluten?<BR/>thanks, cant wait to try the recipemandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267064970718597360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-1592790826671810912009-02-06T17:57:00.000-07:002009-02-06T17:57:00.000-07:00dumb question but you really use 5 cups of wheat f...dumb question but you really use 5 cups of wheat flour at the beginning and then 7 cups of wheat flour at the end?

It always turns out and tastes great. I store mine in a bread bag and it will keep up to a week on my counter and I am sure longer in the fridge. Ours never stays around that long.

I actually wanted to mention that the source of this recipe is not really not mine, although I would like to take credit, but from a published book called, "Emergency Food in a Nutshell" by Leslie D. Probert and Lisa L. Harkness. It's a great book I picked up at the BYU bookstore during Education Week. <BR/><BR/>Also, I have tried it with real lemon juice and it works...great, actually.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042560698220182131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-47010508374214945612009-01-27T20:56:00.000-07:002009-01-27T20:56:00.000-07:00OK I just have to tell you how much I love your si...OK I just have to tell you how much I love your site and how much I love this bread recipe! It is a lifesaver! I got a wheat grinder this year and all of my wheat but was frustrated when every bread recipe I tried didn't turn out quite as good as I'd hoped. I tried Emilie's recipe and WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAAM I love it! I have made it 3 times now (the halved version) and have loved it (except for when I had the water too hot and killed the yeast! Oops!) - just wanted to say thanks for your major efforts and kindness to let people like me share in your knowledge. It is much appreciated!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598091864236644523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-56176477005944441452009-01-27T09:44:00.000-07:002009-01-27T09:44:00.000-07:00I tried the recipe and loved it.

I bake my own bread every week, 4-5 loaves. The trick to great bread that lasts is the sponge but if I may give you my recipe to try, you may find you get a lighter loaf and it is still 100% whole wheat. My recipe is similar, the difference is in the chemistry and the time. <BR/>5 cups hot water<BR/>3 tblsp yeast<BR/>2/3 cup of honey<BR/>Combine and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to grow.<BR/>Mix in to yeast growth 3 cups of wheat flour-I grind my own<BR/>and 2/3 cup of vegitable oil<BR/>Add 2 tblsp dough enhancer if you like-helps the texture a bit.<BR/>Let it sit for 1-2 hours to create the sponge. You can let it go for most of the day if you have other things to do. I leave my in my Bosch with the cover on and get about my day.<BR/>Add 2 tblsp salt and the remaining flour, about 14 cups total, until the dough cleans the side of the bowl but is still sticky. <BR/>I let the Bosch knead the dough for about 5 minutes in the machine then turn it out onto an oiled surface to divide and place in pans. I flatten the dough segments out and then roll them up and pinch the seam. Placing seam side down in the oiled pan I put the dough into a cold oven to rise for 30-45 minutes then turn the oven on at 350 degrees to bake for another 30 minutes. The internal temperature of the bread should be about 180 degrees. <BR/>I hope you will try this and let us know if you like it.Livin La Vida Ketohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030170441166274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-46877436008217016892009-01-12T09:05:00.000-07:002009-01-12T09:05:00.000-07:00Interesting use of lemon juice.

I have NEVER had bread fail on these pans, well worth the extra cost. I did buy them one at a time though because of the cost. Now I have a collection of them.

If you are allergic to lemon juice, the vital wheat gluten will do about the same thing. This recipe is extra good because it has both ingredients but will be great without either one. I have not tried it will fresh lemon juice. I would assume it would work, but I don’t know. I am sure the bottled lemon juice is listed because it can be stored in your long term food storage.Shandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305502081991600969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-36869811120842180512009-01-09T19:11:00.000-07:002009-01-09T19:11:00.000-07:00This recipe is very similar to mine, except for th...This recipe is very similar to mine, except for the bottled lemon juice.
