Homemade Bread
This Homemade Bread recipe uses a mixture of hot water, honey, salt, oil, yeast, vital wheat gluten, and freshly ground hard white wheat flour to create a hearty dough. The dough is kneaded thoroughly and given multiple rises before being shaped into loaves and baked to achieve a soft crust and substantial crumb in multiple regular-sized loaves.
