Survival Food : Wheat Berries and not just for making bread

I have been learning about food storage for a while now. I finally decided to start using Hard White Wheat and grinding it at home. I got a hand wheat grinder to see how I liked it. The verdict is in….LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!  The bread is amazing! Now I know that every Sunday will be bread day around our house. The recipe I used is below. It’s a basic bread recipe. The dough can be used for many things though. Of course bread but also dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, you name it. I hope you try it and let me know how it turns out for you.

BASIC WHITE BREAD
Ingredients : 2 cups warm water (110 degrees) 1/3 cup white sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 6 cups bread flour
(The recipe does not call for dough enhancer but I included it. You’ll see in the video)
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in the yeast. It must sit to proof for about 10 minutes. It will develop a creamy foam.
2. Once the yeast is proofed, mix the oil and salt into it.
3. Mix in one cup of flour at a time. Once it forms a dough turn it out on a counter covered lightly with flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
4. Place in a well oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil.
5. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise until double in size, about an hour.
6. Punch the dough down and knead for a few minutes more. Divide in half. Roll out each half into a rectangle. Roll each rectangle jelly roll fashion and place seam side down in a lightly greased bread pan. Allow it to rise another 30 minutes or so until it fills the pan or is 1 inch above the edge.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Wheat can be stored easily for decades and is highly recommended for storage. Sprouting is one simple way to harness it’s nutrition. You don’t need anything special to do this and it takes only minutes of your time. For full nutrition check Nutrition Data’s website.
