So I spent yesterday in the kitchen, baking bread.  Here's my best recipe for bread that is natural and good for you.

2 pkgs. dry yeast (or 4-1/2 tblspns.), 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 cups warm water, 4 teaspoons salt, 10 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup semolina, 1/3 cup milled flax seed, 1/3 cup wheat bran.  This will make four big loaves, so use a very large mixing bowl.  Mix the yeast with the sugar, add the warm water and stir to mix well.  Measure the salt into the flour, then add the semolina, milled flax seed, and wheat bran into the flour and mix well.  Add 4 cups of flour mixture to the water and yeast, mix well, add 4 more cups of flour, mix again, and add the remaining flour and stir in. 

Turn out on floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary to prevent hands from sticking.  Return dough to bowl, cover and let rise for 45 minutes.  Punch dough down, fold dough over two times, adding more flour to prevent sticking, cover and let rise for 30 minutes.  You will need about 2 more cups of flour altogether for all the kneading to prevent stickiness. 

Divide dough into 4 parts with a sharp knife.  Roll each piece into a ball, let rest 5 minutes.  Knead all the air out of each piece, shape into ovals, then roll each one like a jelly roll.  Place into buttered loaf pans, or butter a cookie sheet, and place 2 rolls of dough side by side for baguettes.   Let rise double.  Place a pan of hot water in bottom of oven, if you like, to glaze the crust while baking.  Brush loaves with egg/water combination, beaten together.  Sprinkle loaves with shredded cheese, sesame seeds, etc.  Bake at 400 - 450 degrees for 30 minutes.  Bake only two loaves at a time, so you have more room.  Or do nothing to the tops, and just butter the top crust lightly after baking to keep crust soft, if you like. 

Don't be shy with the additional semolina, flax meal, or wheat bran that was added to the flour.  You can change these ingredients to whatever you like or have on hand; i.e., wheat germ, quinoa flakes, oat bran, etc.  I personally like to always put in the milled flax seed, and whatever else I have on hand in the cupboard.  This recipe makes 4 big loaves, so if that is too much, it is easy to cut the ingredients in half and make just two loaves.  But here, the first loaves go fast, and it's good to have extra.
