Ingredients
  • 6 Cups Warm Water
  • 2/3 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Dough Enhancer
  • 2 Tablespoons Wheat Gluten
  • 2 Tablespoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Saf Instant Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 14 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
Instructions
  1. Start adding the ingredients in the order shown above with one exception into your mixing bowl…start with 7 cups of flour and slowly add more flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. I use a Bosch Mixer.

  2. I grew up making bread without a mixer, it can be done by hand. I grew up letting my bread rise twice so I still do that. Old habits are hard to break!

  3. I mix it for 10 minutes in my Bosch. Cover with greased plastic wrap until it doubles in size.

  4. Punch down and form dough into eight one-pound loaves or less if your bread pans are larger. I let the dough rise one more time with greased plastic wrap.

  5. Bake the bread at (350°F) = 176°C) degrees for 27-30 minutes. If your pans are larger you will bake your bread longer. You will love making whole-wheat bread, I promise!!
