WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

adapted from a recipe by Fred Miller

185 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

Ingredients

8 cups spelt flour.

1 package dry yeast

2 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons kelp

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup water

1 cup powdered milk

3 cups warm water

1/2 cup brewer’s yeast powder

Directions

Add yeast to 1 cup very warm, not boiling water along with honey and 1 cup flour.
After 10 minutes it should be bubbling slightly, as the yeast is working.
Add the powdered milk and 3 scant cups water, salt and oil. Blend in the rest of the flour, saving one cup to dust the kneading space. Knead for 5-10 minutes.
Round up in a greased bowl.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Punch down, put in 2 greased loaf pans. Cover with damp cloth and let rise 1 hour.

Bake 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven, then 20 minutes at 350 degrees. If desired butter crusts. Each loaf makes about 20 slices. The way I have it written here makes a heavy dense loaf that looks like a fallen cake. If you want a softer lighter loaf add half white flour.
Enjoy warm from the oven.
