Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup gluten flour
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons instant yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups steaming hot tap water (120° to 130°)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/3 cup honey or 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons bottled lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Mix together the first three ingredients in mixer with dough hook.
  2. Add water all at once and mix for one minute; cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Add salt, oil honey or sugar and lemon juice and beat for one minute or until combined.
  4. Add last flour, 1 cup at a time beating between each cup.
  5. Beat for 6 to 10 minutes until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  6. This makes a very soft dough.
  7. Preheat oven for 1 minute to lukewarm and turn off.
  8. Turn dough out onto oiled surface; divide and shape into loaves and place in oiled bread pans.
  9. Let rise in warm oven 10-15 minutes or until dough reaches top of pan (for some reason this about a half hour for me).

  11. Remove from pans and cool on racks.
