Making Cinnamon Bread

Mixing yeast, luke-warm water and honey.

You can see how much yeast can rise in a short matter of time.

 The honey helps the yeast "grow" as it is proofing

 Pouring the water in the Bosch. It was very difficult

as I was pouring it with one hand and taking the picture with the other.

                                                  The dough with the filling which contains:
                                                           Honey and cinnamon in great amounts.

My Own Whole Wheat Bread

(Or any kind of flour you may have!)

Sue Greggs Lunches and Snacks cookbook

AMOUNT: 2 medium loaves 

Bake 350* for 35 to 40 minutes

1. Blend ingredients in a glass measuring cup with a wire whisk,

(I just use a fork.), or spoon in order listed. Allow to stand until 

mixture bubbles up, about 5-10 minutes (this is called proofing the yeast):

1/4cup water, very warm but not hot

1 Tbs (1 package) active dry yeast

1 Tbs honey 

2. In large mixing bowl, (we use a Bosch), mix in with a wooden spoon:

2 cups water, very hot but not boiling

2 teaspoons salt

 1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup veggie oil (best to put oil in first, then honey.)

3. Blend in thoroughly with wooden spoon:

3 cups whole wheat  (you can use any flour you want.)

4. Blend in, in order listed while easy to stir, then turn dough out

of bowl onto a floured bread board to knead in flour that remains: 

yeast mixture

3 more cups whole wheat  (again any flour that you want)

5. Knead for about 10 minutes, adding extra flour as needed 

6. Place dough in a large greased bowl, cover with a towel and set in a warm place at about 85* or on a over a bowl of hot water. Let dough rise until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.

7. Punch down the dough with your fist, (She said first!) divide it in half and shape each piece into a loaf

8. Set loaves in a greased bread pan, cover with towel, let rise in warm place until double, about 30-45 minutes.

9. Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on bottom. Turn loaves out and lay on sides an a cake rack to cool. Cool completely before slicing.

This is Anita's last daughter who enjoys cooking.
