Whole Wheat Bread

3 Cups Hot Tap Water
1/3 Cup Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1 T. Salt
2 T Vital Gluten
1 T. Dough Enhancer
2 T. Instant Yeast (add along with first two cups of flour)
7-8 Cups Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Flour

For half and half bread, I use 4 cups white flour and 3-4 cups wheat. We really enjoy the half and half.
Put first six ingredients into Bosch mixer and then start adding flour and yeast. Turn mixer to speed 2 and allow to knead for 10 minutes, adding additional flour or water if needed. Shape into 2-3 loaves and put into greased pans and let raise until doubled (1 to 1 ½ hours). Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
