- 9 - 9 1/2 Cups of Freshly Milled Guardian Grains or Stone Milled Flour (e.g., 3 Cups Spelt Flour and 6+ Cups Guardian Grains Red Wheat Flour)
- 3 3/4 Cups Warm Water
- 2 1/4 TB Instaferm Yeast
- 1/2 Cup Honey
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 3 1/4 TSP Salt
Directions
- Proof the yeast: Combine the warm water, yeast, and 3 cups of hard red flour. Mix together and let sit, covered, for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
- After proofing, add honey, oil, salt, and 5 more cups of flour. The last 1 to 1 1/2 cups should be added slowly as needed.
- Mix by hand or with a dough hook until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour little by little if necessary.
- Once the dough is pulling away from the sides, knead for 9-10 minutes in a mixer or by hand until soft and stretchy.
- Ensure the dough is soft, stretchy, and not sticky. Fold into two (4x9) bread pans.
- Let the dough rise until it is 1 inch above the pan, which may take as little as 20 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, or until the center of the bread reaches 190°F.
- Rest in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before slicing.
