6 and 1/2 cup white flour (not all-purpose)
4 cups ground wheat flour
3 Tablespoons yeast
1 Tablespoons salt
1/2 cup honey
*4 dime size squirts of liquid lecithin
4 to 4-1/2 cups warm water
In a standing mixer give dry ingredients a quick whirl. Add lecithin, honey and water. (Start with four cups, add more if it looks too dry. No more than 4 and 1/2)
Mix for 5 minutes.
Shape dough into four loaves and spray pans with Pam.
Let raise for 25 minutes under a covered towel and then bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
*Lecithin is so sticky and messy you have to squirt it right into the bowl. It just won't work if you try to measure it.
This is just a Pantry Secrets version that I modified.
Pantry Secrets suggests 4 cups water, but I find I ususally need more. It helps to let it mix for a minute then take a look in the bowl. If you see lots of flour and white spots, pour a little more water in. I usually watch the sides of the bowl and when I see that wet dough on the sides of the bowl, I know I'm there.

Seed Bread
1/2 cup hot water
In a small bowl, mix hot water and bulgar, set aside.
In Bosch mixer, place the following ingredients.
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons yeast
Let yeast soften and bubble then add:
1/2 cup honey
3 Tablespoons canola oil
2 squirts of liquid lecithin (size of a quarter)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup warm milk
Give everything a good stir and add the following:
Your bulgar mixture from the small bowl
2 Tablespoons flax seed
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup potato flakes
1/2 old fashioned oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
Knead for 5-8 minutes.
Place in 4 bread pans and let rise until double in bulk. (30 minutes)
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
This is a very hearty bread. This is Aunt Dorothy's recipe with a few changes. The original had pumpkin seeds but I took those out as they made the bread too chewy. If you want a denser, heavier bread, delete the lecithin. I added it and it turned 3 loaves into 4 and lightened the bread quite a bit. This is very tasty, healthy bread. It is fun to look and see just how many ingredients are in there. And they are all good for you.
