Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups very warm water (110*f ) 330 grams
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup olive oil 100 grams
  • ½ cup honey 130 grams
  • 5-6 cups fresh milled flour finely milled (675-810 grams)
  • 1 tbsp. instant yeast
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  • Combine wet ingredients and the salt in the mixer. (Water, salt, oil, lemon juice and honey)
  • Next add half your flour. Mix until well combined.
  • Allow the dough to rest in the mixer for 10 minutes before proceeding. This will make a softer loaf and helps to hydrate the fresh flour.
  • Add yeast and the rest of your flour. I like to add the flour slowly, 1/2 cup at a time and watch how the dough reacts. You don’t want to add too much flour. Add just enough to where a soft dough forms and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Knead dough until smooth and elastic. This takes about 6-8 minutes with a mixer and 10+ minutes if you are kneading by hand. Do the window pane test to ensure the kneading has been done properly.
  • First rise. Move the dough to a large bowl and place somewhere warm. I like to use my barely warmed oven(preheat for a few minutes and then turn it off). Allow the dough to rise until double in size, in a warm spot that takes 30-45 minutes. If rising on the counter, cover the dough and it may take longer to double in size.
  • Turn dough out onto clean counter and cut in half. Shape loaves and place in greased loaf pans and allow to rise until double in size again.
  • Once doubled bake at 350* F. for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown and the bread is cooked through, about 190 degrees F.
