Whole Wheat Bread

Wheat Bread (4 loaf version) - This is the one I use

4 c. warm water (actually I use hot tap water)
3 T. yeast
1/3 c. oil
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. gluten flour
1 T. salt
7-10 c. freshly ground whole wheat flour

Mix all ingredients together and add enough flour to
keep the dough from sticking to the bowl. Knead for 9
minutes in the mixer. Form into loafs and put in
greased or sprayed pans. (3 large pans or 4 regular
loaf pans). Let rise 20-25 minutes. Put into a cold
oven. Set oven for 350. Bake for 28-30 minutes.

(3 loaf version) - If you can't fit all the ingredients in for the 4 loaf version.
3 C hot water
2 TBLS yeast
1/4 c oil
1/4 c honey
1/3 c gluten
3/4 TBls salt
7-8 cups of freshly ground whole wheat flour
Tips:
Don't over flour, the dough will be sticky. Coat your hands with shortening when you form it into loaves so it doesn't stick to your hands, don't use more flour. Mine also takes longer rise and a little less time to cook.
