• 8 -9 cups whole wheat flour (divided)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons saf instant yeast
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dough enhancer
• 3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 cups warm water (114* - 116*)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (i use light-tasting olive oil)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon liquid lecithin (found at health food stores)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
• 2 in the mixer bowl (i mix mine in a bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
• 3 add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
• 4 beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (about 3 minutes.)
• 5 place the dough hook on the mixer.
• 6 gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
• 7 remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
• 8 place in pam-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with pam and allow to rise for about one hour.
• 9 preheat your oven to 350* and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• 10 ** if you don't use all -wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **you can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. i prefer using all wheat flour or 1/2 wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.
