whole wheat bread

I got this recipe from my friend, Jen.  I cut it in half because my Kitchen Aid can't fit the whole thing in it.  The whole recipe makes 5 loaves, but since I cut it in half I just make 2 good sized loaves.

3 C warm water

2 Tbsp oil*

2 Tbsp dough enhancer

1/4 C gluten

1/4 C honey**

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 C whole wheat flour

1 Tbsp yeast

Preheat oven to 200 and turn off.  Add ingredients into a bowl in the order listed.  Mix and let sponge for 20 minutes.  Add 3 more cups of whole wheat flour, adding more as needed.  Knead for 8-10 minutes.  Set in a greased bowl and cover in plastic wrap.  Set bowl in warm oven until doubled in size.  Punch down dough.  Roll out and shape into a loaf.  Place in bread pans and cover with a light towel or cloth.  Let rise until doubled again. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let bread sit in the pans for 10 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool on rack.

*I use pure extra virgin coconut oil.  You have to buy it at a specialty store, like Sprouts.

**I use raw honey or raw agave.
