Tonight was all about bread and wheat. We started with a review of how to make Nauvoo Bread - a very easy recipe that can be used as bread, rolls or pizza bases. Give it a go, you won't regret it !!
5 cups hot water 1/2 cup potato flakes
1/2 cup sugar 1 cup powdered milk
2tbsp salt 1/2 cup oil
2 tbsp. yeast 10-12 cups bread flour
Combine hot water, oil, shortening, potato flakes, powdered milk and sugar.
Stir. When temperature is tepid, add the yeast.
Mix in 5 cups of flour and the salt. Stir to a smooth sponge.
Add the rest of the flour to make a smooth elastic dough.
Leave to rise until double with a wet tea towel over the bowl.
After about 45 mins, punch down and let rise again.
Shape into loaves and let rise.
Bake in 190 degree oven for about 35 mins.
This will make 4 loaves.
We then learnt how to cook and use wheat in various ways - if you want more details speak to Kim.
Then came the best part of the evening...the eating !!! Kim had made loads of yummy goodies for us to try. Pizza, Minestrone Soup, Cakes, Pancakes, Bread, Cheese Scones - you name it, we had it !!!
Kim has copies of the recipes for anyone who wants them.
