I finally got around to printing the Bread and Buns letterpress recipe cards from the Forage collection and I have to say, they look delish!
Now if only I could be successful at baking bread myself! Any suggestions? I need a mixer recipe, that rises WELL (we live at 6,500 feet) and is preferably somewhat whole-wheat in nature.
Click on the photo to link to the shop and grab some of these for your baking adventures, Happy Friday!

100% Whole Wheat Bread…the BEST!
I make this for my kids’ sandwiches…a terrific snack or sandwich bread.
*Have not tried this at high altitude!
2 1/2 c. hot tap water
1/4 c. olive oil
1/3 c. honey
3 c. fresh ground whole wheat flour
1/2 T. salt
1/4 c. potato flakes
1 T. gluten flour
1 T. SAF instant yeast
2-3 more cups whole wheat flour
With mixer running combine water, oil, honey. Slowly add 3 c. flour, salt, potato flakes and gluten. Add yeast and mix for one minute then let sit and sponge. Resume mixing and add the rest of the flour a little at a time, being careful not to add too much. Dough will be sticky and not quite clear the sides of bowl. Let knead on low speed 5-6 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes. Form loaves, let rise 10 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
**use pre-ground wheat flour, or the flour you grind yourself at the store in the 5lb bags are enough for an entire batch with a little left over. Remember to store freshly ground flour in the fridge or freezer.

Update: 7.11 Adam has been moved from PICU to NTU (Neuro Trauma Unit) where he is miraculously doing well. He is finally breathing on his own, they've taken out his PICC line, and they are on the slow road to recovery. He has been determined as having an anoxic brain injury and the outcome is still unkown. Right now there is positive feedback from the doctors and only time will tell. His brain is about a year behind what it should be. So for a 20 mo. old baby that puts him at re-learning to sit up on his own. He will continue to receive treatment at Primary Children's Medical Center. Your donations will go towards his hospital bills, and you'll be entered to win some sweet wedding invites or baby announcements! Click the picture above to donate!
