Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/4 cup fresh milled hard white wheat flour
  • 1 cup warm water filtered
  • 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp active yeast

Method
 

  1. Mill hard white wheat berries to fresh flour and use it immediately. In a bowl, combine warm water, honey, oil, egg, yeast, and salt, stirring until smooth. Add the fresh milled flour, mix, and let the dough rest for 20 minutes to fully hydrate the bran and begin gluten development, which is especially important for fresh milled flour. Then knead for about 20 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic and can stretch without tearing.
  2. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 60–75 minutes until doubled. Gently flatten into a rectangle, roll tightly into a loaf, and place in a greased cast iron bread pan. Let it rise again for 35–45 minutes, until about 1 inch above the pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F, then allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
