Ingredients
1 cup warm water1 T. sugar or molasses1 T. active dry yeast1 tsp. sea salt (or salt of your choice)1 tsp. oil 2 cups whole-wheat flour3 cups hard whole-wheat flour (you can use bread flour)
Directions
Dissolve sugar in water in a bowl that will hold 1 quart for each cup of water. Sprinkle in yeast. Let proof in a warm place 10-15 minutes. Stir in salt, oil and bread or hard wheat flour (1 cup), Stir well, 3-5 minutes. Let sit in warm place until puffed up and bubbly. Stir 5-10 minutes. Add whole-wheat flour gradually, stirring much more than needed to mix. When it becomes hard to stir, add a little more flour and remove spoon by cleaning with flour. Keep enough flour on hands to keep dough from getting them to messy, but not to much to make dough dry or stiff.

Work in enough flour with hands to form soft loaf. Place in oiled loaf pan or form into rolls and put on an oiled cookie sheet. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then 325 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, checking the bread occasionally now for doneness.
(Small rolls take shortest time). Bread should come out of pan easily when done.
Makes 1 small loaf.

    I will also have to try it again - it didn't really rise enough... but the taste is good - just quite chewy. - 8/19/12

    I'll have to try this one again. My first attempt rose just fine, but fell once it went into the oven. Still tastes good though. =) - 4/30/08
