Sister Brigg's Bread

a la Val Briggs

Ingredients: (Makes 3 loaves)

2 Tbsp. yeast

3 cups warm water

1/3+1/3 cup honey

4+3 cups Kamut flour

1 Tbsp. salt

3 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 350

Combine the yeast, warm water, 1/3 cup of honey, and 4 cups of flour in a mixer. Once combined, let rise for 22-24 minutes.

Then, add the rest of the flour and honey with the salt and oil. Let it mix for 5 minutes to knead it. Let it rise until it has doubled in size. Divide into pans.

Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes

TIP: This bread is very dense and hearty. It has lots of flavor. It is more of an eating bread than say a sandwich bread. Also, I have never made this without Kamut flour, but this flour can be hard to come by and expensive. Follow your heart!

Ty's Puppy Chow Recipe
(The Not Stupid version)

1 1\2c semisweet chocolate chips
3\4 c peanut butter
6 T unsalted butter
1 1\2t vanilla
2 1\2c powdered sugar

You know the drill, melt butter, chocolate and peanut butter. Add vanilla. Pour over cereal, toss in bag with powdered sugar.

Note: Ty was annoyed at the recipe saying to only use 9 cups. That leaves 2 more cups of cereal. Use the whole box!
I disagree on unsalted butter. Use the salted, delicious kind.
