Easiest ever bread, no kidding..... Non-machine recipe
Late evening first day
put a cup of oatmeal in blender and blend till it is like coarse meal,
dump it in a large bowl.
add
1 cup wheat germ, raw or toasted (your preference)
6 cups flour, (1/2 all-purpose, 1/2 whole wheat is a variation)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (this is not an error, this is all you
need)
3 cups tepid water (should barely feel warm)
1 to 3 tablespoons medium-to-hot pepper powder, flakes, etc.
Mix well, scrape the dough out onto floured board, knead for a few
minutes or so, till the dough feels sliky. (3 minutes ought to do it)
Wear latex gloves if you have added pepper powder)
roll in flour, put back into the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap
and leave it setting anywhere, it doesn't have to be in a warm place,
go to bed.
Next morning punch the dough down, divide in half.
put each half into a greased loaf pan (large) or shape into rounds or
long rolls and place on a greased baking sheet.
Cover the pans or loaves with a cloth and forget about them for the
entire day. Go to work, go shopping, read a book, whatever.
When you get home, turn the oven on to 400 degrees F.
Brush the top of the loaves with milk or spray with one of the aerosol
oils, plain or flavored.
place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes.
for a crustier loaf you can sprits water on the floor of the oven for
steam.
As you can see, this is fat free, sugar free, low salt and it is
delicious.
