Whole Wheat Bread

1 T Salt*
2 T Dough Enhancer*
2 T Vital Wheat Gluten*
16-18 cups Whole Wheat Flour*
2 T SAF Instant Yeast*

*These ingredients can be found in our store.

Instructions

Pour the water into the mixing bowl and add honey, lecithin or oil, salt, dough enhancer, and gluten; mix. Add 14 cups of the flour, yeast, and then add one more cup of flour to cover the yeast. Turn your mixer on to speed 2 and mix until the flour is all mixed in. Pinch your dough to see how thick it feels. If your fingers go right through the dough, add more flour. While pinching the dough you should be able to feel the pressure of both fingers pushing against the dough. Turn your mixer back on. If your dough feels really thick and heavy then add water until you get the consistency of your fingers being able to feel pressure on both sides. When you come to this point turn your mixer to speed 2 and knead for 8 min. Sometimes you may need to mix an extra 2 min. Check dough texture.

Shape into 1 1/2 pound loaves and let rise until just above the top of your pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
