Whole Wheat Bread Tips and Recipe

I have had several people who buy whole wheat bread from me ask how I get it to rise so much so I decided to share my recipe. Now the way I get my bread to rise so well is that I add wheat gluten to it. You can get the wheat gluten from the bulk section of Shetler's.

For one loaf of bread you need, 4 cups of whole wheat flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 3 tsp yeast, 4 heaping tbsp wheat gluten, 5 tbsp oil, 12 oz warm water. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly, then mix the oil and water in. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, then spray the top with cook spray, cover, and set to rise in a warm place until it doubles, about half an hour. After in has risen this first time punch it down and knead it again. Then shape it into a loaf, and place in your greased bread pan. Spray, or butter the top again and set to rise for about another half hour. Finally you bake it in a pre-heated 375F oven for 30-35 minutes. It is done when you tip it out of the pan and tap the bottom, and it has a hollow sound. Let it cool on a rack. Enjoy!

Farmer's Market

Every week I bake to sell at the farmer's market, which coincidentally, is what I'm doing right now ;)  I make different kinds of bread and pies, and I wake up really, really early to make fresh cinnamon rolls. It is very tiring, and sometimes I absolutely hate doing it, but mostly I really enjoy doing it; and it pays pretty well too. A couple days ago, our fridge gave out, and we had to stick my dairy products in the freezer until we got it fixed. I took my whipping cream out last night to thaw, and this morning I was like 'what! it's still frozen?!' because I couldn't hear it when I shook it. So I opened it to see what was up. It had turned to butter or something like butter! Now I have to get another carton, oh well, that's one of the risks of business. LOL.
One thing I love about when I am able to go to the farmer's market is when I see Camp J-O-Y people there. It's so cute whenever little kids, that you recognize, but don't exactly remember who they are, run up to you and ask if you will be there next year, or say 'I remember you', and other things like that. I also like it when I wear my camp shirt there, and adults talk to me about it. There was this one lady, in her 30's or 40's, who told me how she had been saved down there when she was younger. I really love just hearing these random people tell me stories, it's so cool!
Well, I guess I'm done for now.
