Wheat for Man

Does anyone have any idea of what to do with 1000 lbs. of wheat? I bought a year supply when my husband began his residency because I was determined to follow living prophets. Now that we know we are moving accross the country in a year and we will we have to pay for what we move by the pound, you could say that we are sufficiently motivated to be eating a lot of wheat.
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls




Yes, those are wheat cinnamon rolls in the background. We heard that there was a community garage sale going on this weekend. I thought it might be a good time to try to sell what we won't take when we move. Isaiah thought it might be a great time to make some money. He loves money. We had the idea of making wheat cinnamon rolls and selling them at the garage sale. Isaiah woke up at 5:00 am with me to make them. The idea was that he would get all the profits from the sale of the rolls and the garage sale if he did the work. He made close to $100. We asked him what he wants to do with it and he said he wants to save it until Jacob comes out this summer.

Wheat Bread that can be used for cinnamon rolls
4 cups of hot water
2 tablespoons of yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
--let mixture sit in mixer (Bosch) until it is bubbly (a couple of minutes). Then add the following:
2 eggs
3/4 cup powdered milk
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup oil
6 cups wheat flour
6 cups of white flour
2 Tablespoons of salt

add enough flour until the dough is pulling away from the sides, but not so much that the dough isn't sticking to the bottom (it shouldn't be wiping the sides clean). Let the machine knead the bread for 5 minutes. Let bread rise for one hour. Punch down and form into 4 loaves. Let rise again for 40 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or for 43 minutes at 310.

I just love Isaiah. My Dalton loves money too, and through a class in school he's learning about the stock market. He also saves his candy and sells it with a serious mark-up to his friends and siblings. Did I tell you that he rented a bouncy ball to his sister for 15 cents with a contract that said if she loses it, she owes him 45 cents. He got the bouncy ball for free at school. I love these little businessnem!

Thanks for your recipes btw, I use your bread one all. the. time!

Keep hiking!
