Whole Wheat Bread - Freshly Milled - Super Soft

Cutting back on processed food and trying to save money by making foods from scratch as much as possible. I have been milling my own wheat for over 15 years. This is currently my favorite bread recipe. I make 2 loaves per week. Makes great sandwiches and toast. Step 1: 240 g warm water 80 g milk 1 Tablespoon honey 7 grams yeast 260 grams whole wheat flour (store bought or freshly milled) **mix for a few seconds, cover and let rest 30 minutes Step 2: 63 grams honey 43 grams butter 9 grams salt 2 Tablespoons vital wheat gluten (optional, helps the rise) 173 grams whole wheat flour (I used freshly milled white wheat berries) (2 Tbsp more wheat flour incase your dough is too sticky) **Knead 10 minutes **Cover and let rise 1 inch above the side of your bread pans, about 90 minutes **Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 30-40 minutes (internal temperature should be 205ºF) **Let the bread cool on a cooling rack before slicing
