Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 5 cups freshly milled flour (50/50 mix of hard red and hard white)
- 1 tbsp yeast (heaping)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1½ tbsp sunflower lecithin
Instructions
- Mill your flour. I love my Nutrimill.
- Into the bowl of a stand mixer, add water, olive oil, honey, flour, yeast, salt, and sunflower lecithin.
- Mix on low speed using the dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes until you have a cohesive dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Cover and allow your dough to rise for an hour.
- Once dough has risen to almost double, remove from the bowl and shape into 2 loaves. Place them into 2 loaf pans and cover again.
- Allow your loaves to rise for about 45 minutes while the oven preheats to 350°F.
- Once your loaves have risen to the tops of the pans, bake for 25 minutes.
- Allow them to cool for 5 minutes and then remove loaves from pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or storing.
