Mistakes Are Good

This morning my head wasn't at all in the baking realm so I accidentally forgot very two important ingredients to our weekly bread. The oil and honey! I did add tofu powder which is a sweetened powder so that may have helped. The mistake made a bread that had a very familiar taste.

When we lived in TX and before I knew about whole grain bread making, we would buy these very delicious sourdough hard rolls. They were white flour rolls though; these taste just like the rolls I wished I knew how to make!


I would suggest making rolls with this not a loaf. The crust is very crispy and the inside very tender and the best part, all whole wheat. Enjoy!

On the rise, a picture before we baked it. I wasn't sure what it would taste like!

I would serve these as rolls and make Misson Baked Beans with them! YUM! I also use a Bosch, so cut in half if your mixer isn't a big one.

6 cups water
3 Tbsp. Tofu White Powder
3 Tbsp. Dough Enhancer
5 cups of Prairie Gold or other hard white wheat freshly milled
3 Tbsp. Saf yeast on top of warm flour

Mix until smooth. I sponged this for 90 minutes, you can sponge less, but the fermented taste may not be as prominent.

Then add: 2 Tbsp. of Real Salt, and flour one cup at a time until the bowl cleans. Knead for 5 minutes with a high powered mixer and then test gluten.

Shape into rolls and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until light brown and hollow when tapped.

Enjoy, Theresa

Spring Issue is Here!

Yes, the spring issue is here! We are so excited to be able to be working on sending all the magazines out :) All of the kids have been on assembly line duty for the past two days, bagging and sealing, and I think today we have the majority of them done!

We are busy this week with planning the May online conference for Joyous-Homemaking! Now that Mom is feeling better, I have a little more time to get back to fixing up the blog and other websites. We actually have few things that we took pictures for to add to the blog, so we'll be back on here later with one of our recent recipes.. or other something!

Hope everyone is having a very blessed week! And If you are subscribed to our magazine, be on the look out for it in the mail!
