2 cups nut. yeast
4 tsp salt
8 tsp each of basil & oregano

Bake on greased cookie sheet for 1 hour or until brown
Serve with brown rice and yeast gravy.
3 3/4 quarts sunflower seeds
15 quarts oats
3 3/4 quarts wheat germ
1 3/3 quarts sesame seeds
Boil:
8 cups honey
3 cups oil
1/3 cup cinnamon
Bake at 325 for 15 minutes stir after 3 minutes
| 18 loaves | 14 loaves | 10 loaves |
| 20 cups water | 16 cups water | 12 cups water |
| 1/2 cup yeast | 1/3 cup yeast |
1/4 cup yeast |
| 1/2 cup sugar | 1/3 cup sugar | 1/4 cup sugar |
Water at 100F degrees, but no more!
May substitute sorghum or honey for sugar.
MIX TOGETHER, (a whisk is best as it oxygenates the yeast and gets it off to a good
Let stand for five minutes, then add:
| 1/2 cup *oil | 1/3 cup *oil | 1/4 cup *oil |
| 1/2 cup salt | 1/3 cup salt | 1/4 cup salt |
| ~50-60 cups flour | ~35-40 cups flour | ~30-35 cups flour |
*If you add less or no oil it will be O.K. fresh but may be harder the next day.
It is your responsibility to bag it after it cools.
Then add flour to the right consistency: until the dough comes away from the side of the bowl. Cover the dough and allow to double in size (about one hour) then punch it down. If time allows, you can let it double again (another hour). The texture improves with each rise.
Now make into loaves, 1 3/4 lbs each (equal weight is important, so every loaf can be removed from the oven at the same time), put in oiled pans, allow to double in size, (at least half-hour-to an-hour (depending on how warm the kitchen is) and bake for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees. It helps to preheat the oven for 15 minutes prior, if the oven was off all night.
You can easily substitute or add ingredients like raisins, cinnamon, sunflower seeds, wheat bran or germ, rye, and sorghum (instead of honey) Too many whole grain ingredients will make it heavy and less likely to rise as high. If you use gluten powder don't use more than 1/2 cup for a small batch or 1 cup for a large batch or it could come out spongy. Since our bread is expected to be vegan, please don't add dairy products!
Do try for a little variety; but remember that folks expect bread to be a more or less “neutral” medium for their sandwiches or toast. Bread with unusual flavoring can be a little off-putting. And lastly, if you use the last of the flour, please refill the bin as a courtesy to the next person.
