There he was – a hungry little varmint with a gleam in his eye. I needed something special and quick for breakfast before his patience ran out and his attention was diverted from that video game. There was the orange juice, there were the chocolate chips…..and before you know it, we had some delicious orange chocolate chip scones.  Not a scrap lived to see the next day.  In fact, on day two, he requested another batch, only this time “make about nineteen forty dozen!”  Which in his parlance is about the same as a hundred kazillion — and taken as high praise.

I was hungry for some good homemade wheat bread despite not having bread pans.  This recipe is probably better in traditional pans, but it worked out just fine as braided loaves baked on cookie sheets.  The entire family, bar none, loved this bread, so I am happy to share it with everyone.

Dissolve 2 packets yeast in warm water – set aside (1/4 C. water)

Put 1/4 C. vegan butter spread (oil may be substituted), 2 C. hot water, 1/2 C. agave nectar, and 1 tsp salt in large bow.  Allow to cool until spread is dissolved and water is lukewarm. Then add the yeast mixture.

Add 3 C. whole wheat flour and beat with a wooden spoon, one cup at a time, until mixture is well blended.

Have 2 C. unbleached flour ready.  Prepare cutting board by sprinkling generously with unbleached flour.  Add in the 2 C. flour and blend well. Pour (it will be solid) out the dough onto the board. Begin kneading until all the flour is blended, adding more periodically until the dough is not sticky.  Knead for about five minutes and set aside in warm place (not hot), covered with towel or plastic wrap.
