Whole Wheat Bread
Add first 5 cups of wheat flour, gluten, yeast and hot water in mixer and mix for 1 minute using wire whisk attachment. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes (if your kitchen is cold, it may take a few minutes longer to rise). Add salt, oil, honey, lemon juice and rest of flour (one cup at a time). Change to dough hook before adding remainder of flour. Let beat for 10 minutes until dough pulls away from sides of bowl (the texture of dough will change during the 10 minutes, so make sure to give it that time).
Heat oven to lowest temperature possible (e.g. 160 degrees). Turn dough onto oiled counter top. Knead together. Divide and shape into 4 loaves. Spray pans with oil and place dough in pan. Place directly in oven to let rise for 10-15 minutes. Once bread is about ½-1 inch from top of pan, increase temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. (Don’t remove bread from oven while waiting for oven to heat up). When baked, butter tops and remove from pans onto cooling racks.

Makes 4 loaves.
5 cups wheat flour (I use about 1/3 red and 2/3 white wheat kernels)
½ cup gluten flour
2 Tbsp. instant yeast (SAF is my favorite)
4 cups hot water (run sink so it is hot but not scalding)
1 ½ Tbsp. salt
½ cup oil (can reduce this amount if desired)
¾ cup honey (we use a little more, more like 1 cup)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice, bottled
5 cups wheat flour, in addition to previous 5 cups
½ cup gluten flour
2 Tbsp. instant yeast (SAF is my favorite)
4 cups hot water (run sink so it is hot but not scalding)
1 ½ Tbsp. salt
½ cup oil (can reduce this amount if desired)

coming soon??? what a tease! share!
This is truly the yummiest wheat bread ever. My kids BEG for me to make it. Thanks Leah for the recipe and thanks Rose for the great pictures.
Ok, I'm so glad you posted this recipe. I made bread last week and it was good, but I wouldn't say it was the yummiest on the planet. So I am excited to try this recipe! If you're gonna take the time, it might as well be the yummiest! :)
And your pictures are so great and fun to look at. Sounds like the class was a hit!
Ok I have to give credit where credit is due. I learned this recipe from Jonny's aunt Jamie Rasmussen. After watching her make it step by step I felt comfortable trying it myself. We haven't bought a loaf of bread at the grocery store since January, it's so yummy. For an even healthier bread, substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil. This was so fun Rose, we need to do jam next soon!
