Honey whole wheat bread

4 cups warm water
3/4 cup honey (or sweetener of choice)
1/3 cup gluten
3 tablespoons instant yeast
10–11 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon salt

Heat oven to 170°F and turn off.

Add water, honey, gluten, and yeast to mixer bowl. Let sit a few minutes until yeast foams. Add about half the flour and beat 2 minutes. Knead in remaining flour to form a dough that is barely sticky. Knead 5 minutes.

Put dough in warm oven and allow to rise about 15 minutes. Punch down and form into 3 loaves. Place into well-greased 8" pans. Let rise in warm oven 20–30 minutes.

Remove bread from oven and preheat to 350°F. Bake bread 30 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on racks.

Makes 3 loaves
