Blender Bread

I am going to start making sourdough bread so that we don't have the instant yeast in our guts multiplying, but until my start is ready, here is a good bread recipe. I like it because #1-it tastes good, and #2-it doesn't use gluten or dough enhancer. Family hit!

2 cups hard white wheat

2 cups hard red wheat

4-6 cups baker's flour (I used ground Kamut)

2 TBSP. dry yeast

4 cups warm water

1/3 cup oil (I used coconut)

1/3 cup sugar (I used 1/4 cup honey)

1 TBSP. salt

Place one cup of wheat in blender with one cup of warm water and blend on high for about 2 minutes (less time if you like more cracked wheat bread). Repeat this process a cup at a time with the remaining 3 cups of wheat and 3 cups of water. Add the yeast and mix well. Cover bowl and let sponge for 15 minutes. Add oil, sugar, and salt. Turn on mixer or stir by hand. Begin adding flour 1 cup at a time, until dough forms a ball or begins to clean the side of the bowl. Knead 5-6 minutes in a bread mixer, longer by hand.

Lightly oil counter. Remove dough and divide into four equal portions. Shape into loaves, and place in greased bread pans (4"x8-1/2"). Let rise until double in bulk, 20-25 minutes. Bake in preheated oven 350* for 30-35 minutes. Take bread from oven, brush tops with melted butter and quickly remove from pan to cool on wire racks.
