100% Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients

• 2 3/4-3 cups warm tap water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dough enhancer, or 1/2 Vitamin C tablet, crushed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
• 1 1/2 tablespoons SAF Instant Yeast
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 7-8 cups freshly milled whole wheat flour, available at Great Harvest

Method

• Place water in bowl of electric mixer. Add 1/2 of the flour. Add oil, honey, dough enhancer, gluten and yeast. With paddle attachment, mix for about 2 minutes. Add about 3 cups of flour and the salt. Change to kneading attachment. Mix until flour is completely incorporated. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time until mixture pulls away from the bowl. Cover bowl and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Turn the mixer on again and mix for another 2-3 minutes.
