I guess it is time to start writing about food again since that is sort of what this book is about. But there is only so much you can say about food. I am trying to live a life that is so much better than just food. We tried to make a homemade loaf of grain bread. We started with a tablespoon of active dry yeast,1-1/2 cups of warm water, 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk, 1 tablespoon of course salt or table salt, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2/3 cup of my grains, 2 ½ cups of white flour. First we dissolved the yeast in a half a cup of warm water for about 5 minutes and then pretty much mixed everything together. Then we kneaded the dough to mix it good. Then we put it in a greased pan to let it rise. This was actually a recipe for pizza dough but we thought we try to make a loaf of bread out of it. Its nice to have a short term goal to think about while you go about doing the other things that need done like cutting the grass or writing a book. Its nice to experiment with food and recipes ,the only thing is, you have to eat the results. The bread turned out pretty good. And with a little butter or cheese it was a feast for me. I was already wondering how much white flour could be replaced with my grains without giving up too much taste or ability for the bread to rise. I want to do this because the grains are healthier and fill you better. But the white flour gives the bread its distinctive taste and the fluffy texture. I’m wondering if the 2/3 cup of grains to 2 1/2 cups of flour can be upped to say 50-50 grains to flour, which would be about a cup and a half to a cup and 3/4 of each. This I will have to try in the next batch of bread. Baking bread takes time and there is some clean up involved but it is definitly worth it. Who does not like home made bread? I think eating homemade bread is almost hard wired into our brains.
