100% Whole Wheat In Two Minutes

Here is a quick video of a 100% whole wheat bread. This is a short clip, but the bread is about as easy as it is short. I did not get a chance to do a voice over. I took several attempts, but a speaker, I am not.

Mix all ingredients together. Mix until you get the gluten widow. Let dough rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour to 90 minutes. At this point you can punch it down and let it rise again or proceed on to shaping. (Another rise yields tastier bread)

Shape into a ball, let rise in a floured bowl or bread proofing basket. Place into dutch oven (preheated to 400 degrees)

Bake 20 minutes with lid on. Remove lid, bake an additional 20 minutes.

Here is the quick recipe:
430 grams King Aurthur whole wheat
295 grams of water
1.5 tsp yeast
1.25 tsp salt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 honey

I can't wait to try this, and in case someone was wondering what I was wondering, here is a grams to cups converter page:

Ah, you really need to get a scale. Everyone has them. ACE hardware has the one I use, I think it was $10. It does cups, grams, Oz and you can zero out any bowl or plate. Plus, it is easier not worrying about cramming a cup and quarter of flour into a one cup measure.

I might have one, but I get stuck in my ways...I suppose if I want to be a real bread baker, I need to pull that out, eh?
