Ingredients

lukewarm water
1 tbsp
active dry yeast
1 tbsp
molasses
2 c
wheat berries
½ tsp
kosher salt
500 mg
vitamin C tablet
oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Add water, yeast and molasses to 2-cup measuring container. Stir well and allow to sit for 3 - 5 minutes. Add wheat berries, salt, and vitamin C tablet to Mix n Blend II blender jar and secure lid. Blend on Speed 9 or 10 for a complete cycle (50 seconds). Combine yeast mixture with flour mixture. Add oil, if desired. (Wheat germ oil is present in freshly milled flour; thus, additional oil isn't required when using freshly milled flour. However, using additional oil will add to the storage life of your bread, helping the bread not dry out as soon). Secure lid and press "Pulse" 5–10 times, 1–2 seconds per pulse. Remove lid and use rubber spatula to scrape dough from sides of container toward center. Secure lid and pulse 5–10 times or until dough mixture forms ball on top of blades.
Place dough in pan, and let dough rise. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour fresh dough into 8" x 4½" greased bread pan, using rubber spatula to scrape out dough around blade. Use rubber spatula to shape dough in bread pan so that dough has a mound appearance, with all four sides lower than the middle portion. Allow dough to rise for 10–12 minutes (do not allow bread dough to rise higher than bread pan; if bread rises too long or too high, it will fall during baking). Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked, remove your delicious and nutritious homemade bread from loaf pan to cooling rack and enjoy!
