Dee Ann's Whole Wheat Bread
This is the bread recipe I like best. It only takes about an hour and a few minutes. I grind white wheat and make it every week. It stays fresh and tastes delicious. It makes 4 loaves. Or, many times I will make three loaves and a pizza crust. To make a pizza crust just roll 1/4 of the dough onto a pizza stone and cook immediately. It will keep for a few days, and then you have a crust whenever you would like. Sometimes I make a loaf of cinnamon bread by rolling out the dough, covering with butter, and sprinkling sugar and cinnamon. You can make bread sticks, hamburger buns, or calzones--anything you can imagine. It costs approximately 50 cents a loaf to make.
10 1/2 Cups white whole wheat flour--leveled, not rounded & freshly ground
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 T. Instant yeast
5 T. gluten or dough enhancer (optional, but it will help the bread raise higher)
1 Rounded T. salt
1/2 Cup powdered milk
1/3 Cup olive oil
3 Cups hot tap water
1 Cup applesauce (can substitute one cup hot water and add a little more flour, but it won't be quite as tasty)
A Bosch mixer makes this easier, but it can be made by hand. Mix dry ingredients. Then add wet ingredients. Mix and check consistency. Knead for 10 minutes. Rest for about a minute and dump onto clean counter or sill pad. Divine into 4 loaves and gently shape into loaves. Spray loaf pans well with Pam, carefully place loaf of bread in sprayed pan, cover with cloth and let rise for 25 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Spread butter over top of bread when you remove from oven, if desired. Release bread from pans and cool on a cooling rack. Then bag in plastic bags to keep fresh.
See below for a six-loaf recipe. Adapted by Sharisse.

Cranberry/French Dressing Chicken
This is EASY and DELICIOUS. It only takes a minute to make, and you can substitute the sauteed onions for dry onion flakes, about 1/4 cup if you don't want to dirty a pan. A good time to buy cranberry sauce is on the Thanksgiving or Christmas sales or right after the holidays as some stores reduce the price. Canned cranberry is a good storage item.
1 16 oz. can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 8 oz. bottle French dressing
1 onion, diced and sauteed
1 garlic clove, diced
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Combine cranberry sauce, dressing, and onions. Put chicken breasts in a sprayed or greased 3 quart casserole dish or 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Pour mixture over chicken breasts. Bake, uncovered--abt 50-60 minutes. As soon as the chicken is in put brown rice on, and they will be done about the same time. Delicious.

German Pancakes
This is a family favorite. Easy to make, but make sure you beat it for the whole 5 minutes or it won't puff.
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
powdered sugar
fresh strawberries, cooked apples, syrup
Beat together eggs, flour, and milk for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees. Place 1/2 cup butter in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Put in hot oven just long enough to melt butter. Remove and pour beaten egg mixture into hot butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Pancake will "grow" up sides of pan. Cut into slices and top with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries, other fruit, or maple syrup.
