Notes about Wheat

--I have succeeded in eliminating “dough enhancer” by using powdered milk- it helps distribute the oil and water evenly- and “wheat gluten” by adding some white flour at the end- this helps elasticity.

--I have felt driven and even inspired to master wheat bread. In the Word of Wisdom, it says Wheat is for Man. The soaking method helps soften the bran in order to access the protein and vitamins B and E. After reading a 1952 book called “Wheat for Man” from my friend, I learned the blessings of the vitamins B and E in the wheat bread match up with the blessings of the Word of Wisdom. Vitamin B is called the pep vitamin. It gives vigor and health to the body (“run and not be weary”) and must be replenished daily (“give us this day our daily bread”). It is also called brain food. (“great treasures of knowledge and wisdom”) It also increases the power of mother to nurse her babies. Vitamin E is necessary for normal reproduction and lactation.

--Wheat helps reduce finances and use food storage. Bread is a cheaper snack than manufactured items. Wheat- whole, kernels, or flour can be made into mush for breakfast; cheaper than cereal.

--I have also read that soaking method is even ok for gluten-intolerant people and helps depression
