Fool Proof Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups warm water

2 Tbsp salt

1/4 cup liquid lecithin

1/4 cup apple sauce or vegetable oil

2/3 cup honey

2 1/2 Tbsp dough enhancer (opt)

2 Tbsp vital wheat gluten

wheat flour: start with 8 1/2 cups (total 12-15 cups)

2 1/2 Tbsp saf instant yeast

Combine 8-9 cups fresh wheat flour and 6 cups warm water.  Mix to paste consistency.  Mix in 2 1/2 tbsp yeast then add salt, honey, oil and gluten.  Mix well.  Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.  (You may not use all 15 cups of flour.)  Knead dough 8-10 minutes then add dough enhancer, knead 3 more minutes.  Use shortening on your hands to form loaves.  Take dough immediately from bowl.  Fill non-stick loaf pans 1/2 to 2/3 full, cover with plastic or saran wrap to keep moist, let raise until doubled (approx. 1 1/2 inches above top of pan).  Place in cold oven.  Turn oven to 350 degrees.  Bake 35-40 minutes.

Makes 5-6 loaves.
