Ingredients
    Small Batch (2 loaves)

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon dough enhancer (optional)
  • 2 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
  • 5-6 cups whole wheat flour - milled medium
  • 1 tablespoon SAF instant yeast
    • Large Batch (6 loaves)
  • 6 cups warm water
  • 2/3 cup oil

Instructions
    By hand instructions:
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, add the first 6 ingredients, about half of the flour, and the yeast. Mix for about one minute.
  2. 2
    Optional step (I did this): for enhanced flavor and texture, allow the batter to sit for 15-30 minutes until it becomes bubbly.
  3. 3
    Mix in the rest of the flour, a little at a time (about 1/2 cup at a time) until the dough pulls away from the sides and bottom of the bowl. You may not need all of the flour. On a lightly floured surface, place the dough and begin kneading in the rest of the flour until the dough is smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into equal portions. Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Bake at 350 degrees F 30-40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F).
