1/2 cup honey (or sugar) 4 Tbsp. yeast 2 cups warm water | Let stand 5 minutes or until yeast is bubbly. |
|
2 cups water 1 1/2 cups oil 1 Tbsp. salt 1/2 cup molasses 3 beaten eggs 1/2 cup gluten (optional) | Mix well and add to above |
|
Then add 6 cups whole wheat flour. Mix or beat 5 minutes (to develop gluten to help bread rise).
Continue adding 1 or l2 cups flour at a time, until dough is easy to handle (it usually takes 4 or 5 cups more). Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Too much flour will cause bread to be dry and crumbly. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 4 to 6 loaves, depending on pan size. This dough can also be used for cinnamon rolls. |
