no....

[discolé monade]

well..that is probably why the 'hard'

and did you use yeast?

if so, did you mix the yeast and water until frothy and let sit (5 mins)?

NO yeast.....don't want it

[discolé monade]

1 1/8 c water

1T veggie oil

3T honey

pinch of sale

3C whole wheat bread flour

2 1/2 tsp yeast

(if you had a bread maker this would be SO much easier)

mix water and yeast until frothy sit for a few minutes 

add the remaining ingredients mix well. you'll need to dust the area you'll be working on, and turn dough onto surface, knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes)

take a large bowl, and 'pam' or lightly grease, and let the dough rise. (about 45 minutes) you'll then need to punch the dough down. knead for 2 minutes

grease your bread pan, and place dough in bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes

If you don't use yeast, you're going to get thick, hard bread. Yeast is what makes it light and fluffy.

You could use recipes that call for cornflour or potato flour instead - but those recopies are also relying on bacterial cultures in the potatoes or corn, so it's basically the same as yeast.

If you don't want hard bread loaves, you gotta have your microorganisms in there.

If you're really that hard set on not doing so - I suggest going for a flatbread instead, most flatbreads do not require cultures.

I will take this under consideration and attempt to find a yeast replacement

 

Thank for your assistance, sir.

Mmmmm, I love fresh baked bread.  Both of the sides of my family came from farms across the Midwest, so my Grandmothers both made awesome bread.  My brother makes it sometimes now, brings me a loaf.  Nothing better than big slices of toasted bread with jelly.
