Ingredients
  • 5cups warm waterdo not exceed 140* Fahrenheit
  • 2/3cup oil
  • 2/3cup honey
  • 2TBS salt
  • 3TBS yeast
  • 12-14cups whole wheat flour*This is approximate. I usually use 12 1/2 – 13
  • 1TBS oilfor the counter and your hands so the dough does not stick
  • Pamfor 4 bread pans
Instructions
  1. *I borrow my mom’s Kitchenetics mixer to make this bread recipe*
  2. Put the water, oil, then honey (using the same measuring cup so the honey slides out easily) into the mixer and mix briefly. Add 5 cups of flour and mix until the flour is wet. Add the salt and the yeast. Turn to speed one and keep adding flour a little at a time (1/2 to 1 cup). Add enough flour until the dough does not stick to the sides and bottom any longer. Put the lid on and turn up the speed to number 2 and allow to mix for 6 minutes.
  3. Turn on the oven to the lowest temperature, my oven’s lowest is 170*.
  4. Coat the counter space you will use with about 1 TBS of oil. Once the 6 minutes is passed, remove the dough from the bowl, making sure you have rubbed your hands in the oil to avoid the dough from sticking to your hands. Divide the dough in 4 equal parts. Take each piece and mold it into a loaf.
  5. Place the dough in a greased pan, making sure that it is evenly pressed down into the pan. Place it in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size. Once it has doubled, turn up the heat in the oven to 350* and bake it for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and put on cooling rack or towel to allow it to cool off. We always use some butter and lightly rub over the top of the bread allowing the butter to melt which gives it a delicious flavor. Serve with honey or your favorite jams.
