Whole Wheat Bread

6 1/2 cups hot water
3 tbsp yeast
17-18 cups fresh ground whole wheat flour, separated
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey (or alternative)
2 tbsp sea salt
2/3-1 cup vital wheat gluten

DIRECTIONS:

In large mixer (Bosch or Dimension), mix water, yeast and 10 cups flour
until blended. Allow to rest about 10 minutes. Add oil, honey, salt, and
gluten. Mix well. Add flour one cup at a time while mixing until dough
cleans the side of the bowl. Allow to knead for 6-8 minutes. Turn out onto
lightly oiled counter. Turn to coat. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
Separate to desired size/weight. I get 5 - 6 nice sized loaves, depending
upon your pans (6 standard loaf pans). Allow to rise in oven for 25
minutes; turn oven to 350, with bread still in, and bake for 20 - 25
minutes.
