What percentage of your own food do you produce?
I just bought a stand mixer to try to let a machine knead bread dough. I want to start baking all my own bread. Let me know if you have any tips for beginners. It's become too difficult for me to buy good bread anywhere that isn't enriched white flour crap mixed with chemicals.
This makes four loaves of bread so just halve it if you need to or freeze the rest.
5 cups warm water, 2 Tbsp honey, 2 Tbsp yeast, 8 cups whole wheat flour, 5 1/2 cups of white bread flour, 1/2 cup olive or avocado oil, 2 Tbsp salt.
Put in the mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead for about 5-10 minutes, until it no longer sticks to the sides. Cover with tea towel and let rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size. You can keep it in the oven (turned off) with the light feature turned on to speed this up. Fold and shape the dough in four bread loaf pans, then let proof another hour. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. While cooling on counter, spread butter on top of loaf to prevent wrinkling and make it extra yummy.
I use and prefer bread machines because pregnant and busy. I've had great luck at thrift stores finding them. Here is my favorite bread machine recipe, it's for a honey wheat loaf. You throw all the ingredients in the pan and then set it for quick whole wheat loaf and it's done in 2.5 hours. I have three machines I run every day lol.
1 1/8 cups warm water, 1/4 cup honey, 1/8 cup olive or avo oil, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup bread flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp yeast.

There are tons and tons of bakers online and on youtube who would love to show you how to make bread. It really is simple.
I'm looking into growing my own veggies on the land I own now.
I had some ideas to try growing wheat but the honest truth is I don't need bread in my life. I'd rather learn how to eat veggies than bread.
