Baking bread - page 1 -

• I love baking bread. We bought 50 # of Prairie Gold wheat berries. I'm told they make fantastic whole wheat bread. So here's the proof.
  
  This is 100% whole wheat bread. No white flour or other grains.  Includes eggs, coconut oil, salt, yeast (of course) lecithin.  I've never had bread turn out this light and delicious!
  
  Made four hamburger buns for dinner tonight, plus four loaves like these.  This could be habit forming. (Well, it is. I've been baking bread for over 40 years.  But this has been the best flour to work with. Grind the grain immediately prior to mixing up the dough. 
  
  Anyone else like to make yeast breads? With whole grains?

• Nice looking loaves, Bear.
  
  I used to bake with white flour, but in the early 90's someone introduced me to buying wheat berries and grinding your own flour. Now I hardly ever use white flour. And this new discovery, 'Prairie Gold' wheat is opening a new world. The texture of the bread is closer to store bread and white bread, while still being 100% whole wheat.
  
  I'm going to test some of this out on friends this next week.

• I found the newspaper's web site and they had the recipe I told you about listed there. Here 'tiz: 
  
  
  Beautyberry Jelly
  
   
        INGREDIENTS
  6 cups berries, stems and leaves removed
  8 cups water
  juice of one lemon
  4 cups raw sugar, divided
  1 package low-sugar pectin
  
  DIRECTIONS
  Bring berries and water to a boil in a large pot and cook covered for 20 minutes. Mash with a potato masher or the back of a large spoon and cook an additional 20 minutes. Strain through a very fine sieve—the seeds are extremely tiny—or use a jelly bag. Boil liquid to reduce infusion to 4 cups. Mix in lemon juice, stir well and return to boil. Mix 1/2 cup sugar with pectin. Slowly whisk into liquid and return to boil. Add sugar all at once and boil hard for one minute. Remove from heat. Pour into prepared jars.
  Process in boiling water for 10 minutes.

• Great looking l bread guys. You are making me hungry. I will have to give it a try now that the weather is cooling off. You can't beat home made bread.
