Wheat Bread

Grind 10 c of white wheat into flour (makes 15-16 c of flour)
With dough hook in place add:
6 cups warm water8-9 cups fresh wheat flourJog until paste consistency.
Then add:2-3 T instant Saf yeast
2/3 c oil (1/2-1c)
2/3 c honey (1/2-1 c)
2 T salt2 T vital gluten (increases protein content)
Turn Bosch to speed 1 and slowly add additional wheat flour until thedough cleans the sides of the bowl (about 7-8 c more). Be careful notto add too much flour. Let knead for 7-8 minutes.

Add:2 T dough enhancer (improves the texture, not so crumbly and it lastslonger. store in fridge: 2 yr shelf life)
Knead 2 more minutes.

Put shortening on your hands and immediatelytake dough from bowl and pinch off enough dough to fill greased loafpans ½ full. Press dough evenly into pan. Let rise until 1 inch abovetop of pan (30-45min).

I preheat my oven to 200degrees and put thepans in and then turn it off.
Put in preheated 350 oven (for me, I find 325 works best so the edgesdon’t get done too quickly).
Bake 20-30 minutes.

Yield: 6 loaves(depends on the size of your bread pans---mine work out to only make 5loaves).I usually end up freezing a few of the loaves, since we can’t getthrough them all in time, and the freeze just fine.

RASPBERRY PORK TENDERLOIN

This is the pork recipe used for our Relief Society Christmas dinner. It looks a bit difficult but it is really quite simple.

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped shallot (about 2 large)
2 cloves minced garlic
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red raspberry jam
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Cut pork into 1/2 inch slices. Combine flour, salt and pepper.
Coat both sides of pork in seasoned flour mixture. In large skillet over
medium-high heat, melt butter with oil. Cook pork slices 2 - 3 minutes on each side
until nicely browned; remove pork from skillet.
Add shallots and garlic to skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add vinegar, stirring to
scrape up browned bits. Stir in broth and jam. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
Return pork to skillet; cook for 2 minutes, turning once to coat with sauce.
Remove pork to a warming dish.
Pour sauce through a sieve into a sauce pan. (to remove shallots and garlic chunks)
Season sauce to desired taste by adding "Kitchen Boquet" (browning and seasoning sauce),
