Makes one - 2lb loaf Set your machine on Bread Dough only setting 2 1/2 C of Wheat Grain (I like 1 1/2 Hard Red & 1 Hard White) should make 3 1/2 C flour In Bread Machine Combine in this order: 1 1/2 C Warm (110-115 degrees) water 1/4 C Honey or Succanant 1 Tbs Oil (Olive, Canola, Enova - your choice) 2 Tbs Powdered Milk 3 1/2 C freshly ground flour 1/4 Gluten 1 tsp salt Make a ‘well’ near the kneeding blade that fills with a bit of the water then add 2 1/2 tsp of yeast Set and get busy with something else for a while! When machine is finished with it’s job, remove dough to either floured or oiled flat surface. Oil loaf pan generously and set aside Flatten (by hand or rolling pin) dough and roll like a jelly roll and crimp end to fit snuggly on loaf. Place top of bread (not crimped side) down into oiled pan, roll all the way around until crimped side is now down and top is oiled. Place in warm place (microwave or second over warmed to 200 for 1 minute then turned off) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes preheat oven to 350 for 8-10 more minutes - then place bread in middle of oven for 18-22 minutes (oven times and heats will vary). Remove from pan to wire wrack and cool completely before bagging.
