In Bosch mixer with dough hook add:
3 cups warm water
2 cups warm milk
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
4 tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons dough enhancer (optional…I personally do not use this)

Add 12-13 cups whole-wheat flour to make soft dough that cleans the side of the bowl.  Knead for about 10 minutes on speed 1.  Shape into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, filled breads, pull aparts, etc. and bake until golden after allowing whatever you have shaped to rise to double in size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes…possibly longer depending on what you’re baking.  This is just a basic dough that can be used for many different breads. 

Sorry for leaving out important details and thanks to Shawna for pointing that out to me!

2 cups flour*
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in butter thoroughly, until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Stir in almost all the milk. You want your dough to be a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough. You can add more milk to get this consistency. Too much milk will make your dough sticky. Not enough milk will make your biscuits dry.

• 3 cups warm water (100-115 degrees)
• 6 Tbsp oil
• 6 Tbsp honey
• 1-1/2 Tbsp yeast
• 9 cups freshly milled hard, white wheat flour (OR 8 cups wheat flour off the shelf)
• 2-1/4 tsp salt

I use my Nutrimill and my Bosch mixer for making my bread, so these directions are for my mixer and not by hand. (sorry) Combine warm water, oil, honey, and yeast in the Bosch mixer. You may want to use a whisk to make sure the yeast dissolves. I add my oil first and then the honey so that the honey slides right out of the tablespoon. Let this mixture sit for about 5 or 10 minutes until foamy. Combine the wheat flour and salt and then add slowly to the mixer. Mix together. You will have to increase the speed of your mixer and mix for 8-10 minutes to develop the gluten. Depending on the humidity, sometimes this takes longer. You should be able to stretch the dough pretty thin without it tearing. About half way through the mixing time, the dough should start to pull away from the sides of the bowl. You can add more flour if needed. Only add 1 tablespoon at a time so that you don’t add too much. Put some butter or oil on a clean countertop (to keep the dough from sticking) and pour the dough out onto a countertop. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Divide into three sections. (I form these sections into little rounded mounds of dough.) Cover and let dough rest for 20 minutes. Shape into loafs, put into 3 loaf pans that have been greased lightly with butter or oil, cover and let rise until the dough is slightly higher than the loaf pan edge. Any higher and you’ll be scraping bread dough off the top of your oven. This will take around an hour to an hour and a half depending on the weather. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and place the pans on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes. Remove bread from pans and place on cooling rack to finish cooling off. Resist the urge to eat the bread right out of the oven. Let it cool for at least those first 20 minutes to set the loaf.

• 1-1/2 cups water, warmed
• 2 Tbs butter, softened
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 cups wheat flour
• 1 Tbs cocoa
• 1 Tbs sugar
• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 1 tsp salt
• 2-1/4 tsp yeast (optional)
• 1 tsp caramel color (optional)
• 3 Tbs cornmeal, for dusting

Place all of the ingredients (except the cornmeal) in the bread machine and process on dough setting. The dough will be a little on the wet side and sticky, but if it seems too wet add more flour. When dough is done, let it rise for 1 hour. Remove from pan, punch down and divide into 8 portions. Form portions into tubular shaped loaves about 6 to 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Sprinkle the entire surface of the loaves with cornmeal and place them on 2 cookie sheets. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with whipped butter.

• 2 cups flour
• 1 Tbs baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

In a bowl, stir together dry ingredients, then cut in shortening and make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk, stir till dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 10 to 12 times. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2 inch biscuit center, dipping cutter into flour between cuts. Place biscuits onto baking sheet. and bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

• 1-1/4 cups warm water
• 1-1/2 Tbsp. butter
• 3 cups wheat flour (16 oz fresh milled)
• 1-1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. powdered milk
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 1-1/2 tsp. yeast

Place warm water, butter, yeast, honey, powdered milk, and half the flour into your mixer. Blend together and then let “sponge” for about 30 minutes. Add the remaining flour and salt until mixed. Place the mixture on the counter and kneed until gluten forms (this takes about 6-8 minutes in a Bosch mixer). Grease a bread pan and place the dough into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown and bread has a hollow sound when thumped.
