Making Bread

At the Burtch house we are no longer buying store bought bread! This is how we do it now.
We grind wheat to make our own flour.




Then we use this super simple and yummy recipe to make dough....
10.5 cups of flour
half cup of sugar
1 tbsp of salt
3 rounded tbsp of instant yeast
3 tbsp of lecithin
4 cups of hot water

mix the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients. mix for 3 minutes and shape as desired. let it rise for 25 minutes and bake.

Here it is rising....


And here is the finished products. This recipe makes 4 loaves of bread, but we like to use half of it for pizza:) It is so yummy, sometimes I can't believe that I actually made it!
