Ingredients
-
6 cups buttermilk
2/3 cup vital wheat gluten
2 T. instant dry yeast
1/4 cup honey
4 tsp. salt
2 cups water
15-18 cups freshly twice ground white whole wheat flour(prairie gold wheat berries)
1/3 cup melted chicken fat, lard or oil
1 T. butter
Directions
Warm the buttermilk and water in a large bown. Add gluten , yeast, honey and salt. Stir with a whisk until dissolved. Add 8 cups of the flour and whisk until smooth. Add two cups of flour at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Keep adding flour until very hard to stir in with a spoon. Add melted fat or oil and work in with your hands. Put lid on bowl. Set at room temperature . Punch dough down with your hands when it rises. Let rise 2 or 3 more times, punching down each time. grease 6 4"x8" loaf pans. Divide dough into 6 pieces. Shape each into a loaf and put in pans. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise for exactly 30 minutes, no more.
Place in cold oven. Turn on overn to 375 degrees. Bake exactly 30 minutes , turning pans around once in the middle of baking. Cool on wire racks. Rub butter on top of loaves if you want a soft crust. Makes 6 loaves. Each loaf makes about 15 slices. (If you only get 15 cups of flour in it, it will probably only make 5 loaves. It's important to use freshly twice ground flour as it measure differently than flour that has been ground for awhile.

I have tried many of your recipies and love them! Where can I find freshly ground flour? Can I buy it un-ground at the health food store and grind it myself? Any suggestions? - 10/11/08

I own a whisper mill and buy my wheat berries from "Wheat Montana". They have a web site that you can buy from but the shipping is really high. I buy their Prairie Gold which is a white wheat. After grinding it, store whatever you don't use right away in the freezer so the germ doesn't go rancid.
