COOKED WHEAT
COOKED WHOLE WHEAT
1 cup whole wheat
4 cups water, approximately
Place whole wheat in hot crock pot. Bring water to a boil. Pour hot water over wheat in crock pot, making sure to cover whole wheat and allow for triple increase of grain. Turn off crock pot and leave covered overnight. In the morning, drain the whole wheat and spoon into a plastic container. Store in refrigerator.
USES FOR COOKED WHEAT:
For warm cereal: Serve as you would oatmeal; flavoring with cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, honey, your favorite dried or fresh fruit, and milk.
Sprinkle on fresh green salads.
Stir into yogurt before eating.
Cooked wheat can pick up the flavors of that with which it cooks.
A cup of wheat to vegetable, meat or poultry soups increases the nutritional value.
Add to your favorite tuna, chicken, and pasta casserole recipes.
Sandwich fillings, such as tuna, turkey, or chicken can have whole wheat added.
Include in spaghetti, enchiladas, or tacos, by adding the wheat to your recipe as you brown the ground beef, shredded beef, or chicken in order to soak up the flavors of the meat as well as the spices.
Run cooked wheat through a meat grinder - use it like ground beef in patties, loaves, chili, casseroles. Doesn't taste like meat, but they taste good and are so much more healthy and less expensive.
SPROUTED SOAKED WHEAT:
Place 3/4 cup of clean, rinsed, whole wheat in a quart jar. Cover with 3/4 cup of water warm water. Soak for about 12 hours, drain off the water and drink it (it has vitamins and minerals). Rinse the wheat, drain, and put the bottle in a cupboard where it is dark and warm. Don't feel obligated to handle or interfere with germinating wheat. Gently sprinkle a little water over the grain two or three times day (depending on the temperature and humidity.) There is no need for vigorous washing and rinsing. You could cover the top of the bottle with a piece of nylon stocking or gauge secured with a rubber band.
After sprouting, grind it until it looks like ground beef. Season the wheat in various ways and makes patties, loaves, and several other delicious dishes.

RECIPES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
WHOLE GRAIN RECIPES:
Many countries traditionally used whole grains in preparing their own foods for feeding their families. Over the years many have chosen to have others prepare them for convenience sake. There are some that still grind their own wheat and prepare breads from scratch. If you would like to return to the ways of their (and perhaps your) ancestors read this page. As a meat substitute, or even as a stretcher (using half meat/half cooked wheat - recipe follows) there's no fat in whole wheat to plug up arteries, no blood to make a mess on the counter, and no E.coli contamination.

DEE-LICIOUS WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
(from the Magic of Wheat Cookery Cookbook)
1 3/4 cup milk (scalded)
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons yeast
6 cups whole wheat flour, approximately
Mill 6 cups of whole wheat. Pour slightly cooled milk in mixing bowl. Add salt, oil, honey, water, eggs and yeast. Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour and blend together. Add 3 more cups of flour or enough to knead at the proper texture in the mixing bowl. Knead 10 minutes.
Cover with kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in bulk. Knead once again with dough hook, just until all the air is out of the dough. Form into loaves and place in a well-oiled bread pan. Let rise again until almost doubled in bulk. Put in a COLD oven and turn the temperature to 350 and bake for 1 hour. These loaves are very tender.
Note from Amelia:
I use this bread recipe to make “Cinnamon Break-aparts.” Instead of forming into loaves, I grab a small piece of the dough, roll in cinnamon-sugar, and place in a greased, round, glass casserole dish, ( Can also use a cake pan, loaf pan, or whatever you have.) I continue making little balls of dough and just place them on top of the previous, until all the dough is gone, filling whatever pan I’ve chosen to use. This creates a loaf of cinnamon rolls that you “break apart” to eat. If necessary I fill 2 pans. Bake as directed above. While still warm, I sometimes glaze the top with a mixture of 1 cup powdered sugar and a few drops of milk – just enough to make a runny consistency. I stir with a fork and then, as I wave the fork back and forth above the break, I allow the fork to drip glaze over the Break-aparts. Children love to pull these apart and eat as a snack or dessert with milk.
ENSALADA TROPICAL (fruit salad)
3 bananas
1/2 head of cabbage
1 can pineapple cubes (drain)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup cooked whole wheat
1 cup mayonnaise (or to your taste)
Peel and slice bananas into bowl. Shred cabbage thinly. Drain pineapple. Mix all ingredients together. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. May add other seasonal fruits.
GLUTEN
9 cups whole wheat flour
4 1/2 cups warm water
Put flour and water in the mixing bowl and knead with dough hook for 10 minutes on low. Remove dough hook. Fill bowl with water, covering the dough. Knead gently by hand until water is white and starchy. Pour off starchy water into another bowl for future use. Remove dough mixture from bowl, a handful at a time. Place a colander in large container and knead dough by hand while singing under a trickle of warm tap water. As the starchy part washes out, the gluten will remain in your hand. It is a brown rubbery substance. Take about 10 minutes. Put the gluten in a colander or on a plate until you have washed all of the dough. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of gluten.
USES: Meat alternative or meat extender in stews, ground beef for spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, enchiladas, or tacos. Stretch out gluten into pieces, clip with kitchen shears, stretch again and flavor. Can flavor gluten by kneading onion soup mix into dough or simmering in a hot beef soup base.

DEE-LICIOUS WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
(from the Magic of Wheat Cookery Cookbook)
1 3/4 cup milk (scalded)
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons yeast
6 cups whole wheat flour, approximately
Mill 6 cups of whole wheat. Pour slightly cooled milk in mixing bowl. Add salt, oil, honey, water, eggs and yeast. Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour and blend together. Add 3 more cups of flour or enough to knead at the proper texture in the mixing bowl. Knead 10 minutes.
Cover with kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in bulk. Knead once again with dough hook, just until all the air is out of the dough. Form into loaves and place in a well-oiled bread pan. Let rise again until almost doubled in bulk. Put in a COLD oven and turn the temperature to 350 and bake for 1 hour. These loaves are very tender.
Note from Amelia:
I use this bread recipe to make “Cinnamon Break-aparts.” Instead of forming into loaves, I grab a small piece of the dough, roll in cinnamon-sugar, and place in a greased, round, glass casserole dish, ( Can also use a cake pan, loaf pan, or whatever you have.) I continue making little balls of dough and just place them on top of the previous, until all the dough is gone, filling whatever pan I’ve chosen to use. This creates a loaf of cinnamon rolls that you “break apart” to eat. If necessary I fill 2 pans. Bake as directed above. While still warm, I sometimes glaze the top with a mixture of 1 cup powdered sugar and a few drops of milk – just enough to make a runny consistency. I stir with a fork and then, as I wave the fork back and forth above the break, I allow the fork to drip glaze over the Break-aparts. Children love to pull these apart and eat as a snack or dessert with milk.
ENSALADA TROPICAL (fruit salad)
3 bananas
1/2 head of cabbage
1 can pineapple cubes (drain)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup cooked whole wheat
1 cup mayonnaise (or to your taste)
Peel and slice bananas into bowl. Shred cabbage thinly. Drain pineapple. Mix all ingredients together. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. May add other seasonal fruits.
GLUTEN
9 cups whole wheat flour
4 1/2 cups warm water
Put flour and water in the mixing bowl and knead with dough hook for 10 minutes on low. Remove dough hook. Fill bowl with water, covering the dough. Knead gently by hand until water is white and starchy. Pour off starchy water into another bowl for future use. Remove dough mixture from bowl, a handful at a time. Place a colander in large container and knead dough by hand while singing under a trickle of warm tap water. As the starchy part washes out, the gluten will remain in your hand. It is a brown rubbery substance. Take about 10 minutes. Put the gluten in a colander or on a plate until you have washed all of the dough. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of gluten.
USES: Meat alternative or meat extender in stews, ground beef for spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, enchiladas, or tacos. Stretch out gluten into pieces, clip with kitchen shears, stretch again and flavor. Can flavor gluten by kneading onion soup mix into dough or simmering in a hot beef soup base.
