Wonderful Wheat Night

We had wonderful wheat night in our ward at my home on Thursday night. It was so much fun!! We learned how to make Amy's Wheat bread, which ask anyone there, is the best thing ever! And home made tortilla's from a few woman in our ward. Those two things alone were the highlight of the night! Thanks everyone who came! Here are the recipes for those of you who missed it!!

Amy's Wheat bread (Translation yummy, yummy!)

6 C warm/hot water

2 T yeast

1 T Sugar

2/3 C oil

2/3 C honey or sugar

2 T

2-12 C whole wheat flour

(You can easily substitute some wheat for white store flour)

*Put water in mixer, yeast and then sugar. Allow to set for a couple of minutes. Then add oil, honey mix a little, then add salt and a couple of cups of flour. Turn mixer on low and add flour until very, very gooey. Scrape sides of mixer and turn on high for 5 minutes (This is very important it's called sponging your dough and it makes your whole wheat bread taste and then texture far better!!!) Slowly add more flour. When dough pulls away from sides, this is a lose term, it's still very gooey and you would think how in the world am I going to knead that!!) Put oil in bottom of large bowl and around sides (Amy uses Veg. oil and a lot of it!) scrape the dough out into the kneading bowl and put oil on your hands and knead for a few minutes.

Then let is rise till slightly over the bowl (about an hour). Take our of and knead on counter with oil on it. Knead into long 4 loafs. Let rise till over edge of pan and bake 350 for 30 min. *

Flour Tortillas!!!

(We had experts teach us how to make them and we quickly realized that technique was EVERYTHING!)

2 C flour

1/2 t salt (heaping)

1/4 t. baking powder

1/4 C oil

2/3 C hot water

1 HOT frying pan

Mix ingredients in food processor. Mix until it all forms a ball of dough. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest of 15 min. Then knead the dough just a little and squeeze a ball of dough out from your fist. Take a little flour and smooth the ball of dough with your hand. Next place in on the counter and roll once in each direction, then turn half way and roll once in each direction again.

Then back and forth in your hands, flip the dough until it is even again and repeat rolling it with the rolling pin. Do this until desired thickness is reach, which should be pretty thin!!

Then place in on the HOT pan until cooked on both sides evenly. They are so good! But please, please don't over cook them!!! :)
