Homemade Wheat makes 15 servings.

The ingredients for Homemade Wheat are:

.5 ounce yeast
1 Tablespoon and 1 1/2 teaspoons Splenda
1 1/4 warm water (around 110*f)
1 Tablespoon and 1 1/2 teaspoons Vegetable Shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

Here is how you make Homemade Wheat:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water, let bloom for 10 minutes. Stir in shortening, salt and one cup of the flour. 2. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.3. Lightly oil a large bowl (I use cooking spray), place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. (I use my oven on warm and shut the door.)4. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form into a loaf. Place the loaf into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. (Again, I use my oven.)5. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).6. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. The reason for the high preheat is to give it a thin soft crust, but turn it down upon putting in the loaf so it cooks eavenly.Number of Servings: 15Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user IVYDIVY.
