Making Bread more Nutritional - by Lisa

Lisa's Amazing Wheat Bread Recipe
(*preheat oven to 350)

• 3 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 and 1/2 cups Hot Water
• 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Yeast
• about 1/3 cup Gluten (has tons of protein, and increases denseness/chewiness)

Mix these and let it rise for about a minute or two. Then add:

• 1-2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice (change based on your preference) (This contains Vit A, Vit C, helps the digestive tract and even kills worms. Who knew??)
• 2 Tablespoons OLIVE OIL (This is used instead of 1/3 cup Veg oil because Olive Pil is a heavier oil that has Omega 3s and Omega 6s.
• about 1/3 cup Flax Seeds (or Ground Flax- no real differences in nutrition that anyone knew of)
• 1 Tablespoon Molasses (gives it the browner color and gives a little sweetness)
• Dash in some Wheat Germ
• 1 Tablespoon of Salt (err on the side of less)
• 1/2 cup sugar**, if you use any at all. Use less sugar if you've used molasses
• 2 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat (for a total of about 6 cups in the whole recipe)

Oven to 350 degrees for around 18 mins, but keep an eye and nose on it! 
Lisa goes by color. Others check bread when it has a strong yummy bread smell.

• (optional and less healthy:) Brush butter over the top when they come out of the oven

Other tips and bits of information shared:
-You can use Coconut oil instead of Vegetable Oil for a much healthier alternative. Yes, it's fat, but it's good fat.  It looks like shortening. It used to be super cheap, the standby everybody used until Corn fields began being subsidized by the Fed. Gov'mt and now most people use Veg. /Canola Oil, etc.
-Mono & Poly fats are good.  Trans and Saturated are bad.
-Coconut oil container says that coconut oil + hemp oil + olive oil builds up the perfect balance of Omega 3s.
-Lisa gets hers off Amazon in order to buy bigger containers of it.
-Rye and Barley are not as nutritionally dense as whole wheat, even though they're in the spotlights lately in the latest of health crazes.
