Whole Wheat bread
Creating bread from whole wheat, eliminating oxidised flour and yeast, creates a bread as close to the original grain as possible. Everyone enjoys this unusual bread. However many of us continue to experiment to find the best method, so this page may change as things get better.
Right now this is my favourite. You need a powerful blender.

Preheat the oven and a 20cm earthen ware bread balking pot, or a 24cm heavy lidded pot, to 250°.
Spill the proven dough into the preheated pot, gently shaking it to make it settle into place.

Remove lid and cook for a further about 25 - 30 minutes. Go for a deep chestnut colour, not burned.
