For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Honey Whole Wheat Bread

This recipe works well for me. When done right the crust is very soft, the texture is fine, and it holds together well for sandwiches. As with all bread, practice makes perfect!

Honey Whole Wheat Bread

4 TBSP Yeast
1 TBSP Sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups milk
1 cup honey
2/3 cup canola oil
2 TBSP salt
12-15 cups whole wheat flour

In a large mixing bowl dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Heat milk and honey in a saucepan until warm but not hot. Add to yeast mixture. Add oil, salt and 4 cups flour. Mix until all flour in incorporated. Add 4 more cups of flour; mix well. Add 4-6 more cups of flour one cup at a time, until dough is not sticky, but smooth. I usually add exactly 13 1/2 cups total flour every time. Knead for several minutes and place into a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes. Punch dough down and shape into 4 loaves. Place into 4 greased loaf pans and let rise for 20 - 30 minutes or until tops of bread are only one inch taller than pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Take out of pans and brush tops with butter.

  4. Ness,

    It is most definitely not burnt. The color is from the whole wheat and the honey. I bake it until the inside is just done. Come and have a taste, you'll see!

  5. When I make this, I use freshly ground flour. I also add four crushed vitamin C tablets. It makes the texture finer and seems to neutralize the wheat so it isn't so course.

  6. I was wondering if I could copy this recipe for a hand out in my relief society. I'm trying to get people to cook with wheat. I will site your blog with the recipe. is that okay?? I love your bread. I just wish I could find honey cheaper. Any suggestions?

  7. I purchase my honey online (cheaper than anywhere else) from dutchgoldhoney.com They are in PA just west of Philly. 60 pound bucket cost $114.60 or $1.91 per pound. You can pick it up at their store or have it shipped for $37.88. Total cost is $2.54 per pound. I challenge you to find any honey cheaper than that. Quality is the best.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
