Breads; Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

Ingredients:
This recipe makes 5 loaves. When cut in half, makes 3 loaves. (8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2.)
Use an electric mixer or knead by hand.
(Mix in bowl until flour is wet:)
* 5 1/2 C hot tap water (140 degrees F)
* 1/3 C honey
* 5 C whole wheat flour
* 1/2 C Gluten Flour
Add and mix for 15 seconds:
* 3 T dry yeast
Add:
* 2/3 C oil (olive or vegetable)
* 3 T lemon juice or 50 mg. ascorbic acid (Vit. C)
* 1 T salt

Instructions:
Continue adding flour (about 7 to 9 cups) until dough forms a ball and does not stick
to sides or bottom of bowl. Knead with an electric bread mixer for 6 minutes or by
hand about 10 minutes (300 kneadings).
With oil on your hands remove the dough from bowl and form into loaves. Before
placing loaf size dough into pan, fold and pound with side of fist a few times to get air
bubbles out and to make a tighter and more elastic-like loaf. Make a tight ball-shape
loaf and put in center of greased bread pan then place in a 125 degree oven or let
rise on countertop until double in bulk. Turn oven up to 350 degrees and bake for
about 30 minutes or until top and bottom crust are brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

Rice Dishes; RICE MILK

RICE MILK #1
Ingredients:
*4 cups hot/warm water
*1 cup cooked rice (I've used white or brown)
*1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes,
then without shaking pour the milk into another container ( I use an old honey jar)
leaving most of the sediment in the first container. This makes about 4 - 4 1/2 cups.
Notes: When I have used cold water and the rice was taken out of the refrigerator, it
just doesn't come out that well. I don't know why but its best to use warm water and
warm rice (you can nuke it if its leftovers but freshly made is best) I have even let it
set longer than 30 minutes (overnight) without it making a difference.
