Bread

We use this bread for sandwiches.

2 cups warm water
1/3 cup honey (try less 1/4 cup next time)
1.5 TBSP yeast
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 TBSP milk powder
4.5-5 cups flour (we use whole wheat)

combine water, honey and yeast. Mix with a whisk and let sit about 5 min, until the yeast is bubbly. Add 2 cups of flour, the lemon juice and milk powder. Mix. Gradually add enough flour to form a dough. Mix on low 5 min (this is the kneading).

Cover with a warm wet towel. Allow to sit until doubled, about 30 min*. Punch down, form into loaves and allow to rise another 30 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min. Makes 1 loaf.

*I usually mix the dough in the morning then bake it in the afternoon. I'm not too scientific about how long it has to sit to rise. There is usually a dough bulge in the towel that covers the bowl.

**I also usually triple this recipe, or rather make it 3 times in 3 separate bowls. I take some dough from each dough ball and make 4 loaves.

***I line my bread pans with parchment paper. Immediately after removing from the oven, I rub the tops of the loaves with butter. We use this bread for sandwiches.

adapted from my sister, Hillary Ashman Fevrier, who found this recipe on line and made it while visiting us for Christmas in 2013. It is supposed to be a knock off of Great Harvest Bread.
