4 Loaf Bread Recipe

4 Loaf Bread Recipe

9 – 11 cups whole wheat flour

2 Tab. yeast

½ cup wheat gluten

4 cup hot water (not hotter than 110°)

1/3 cup olive or grape seed oil

2/3 cup honey

2 Tab. dough enhancer

1 Tab. salt

Place 6 cups flour, yeast, and wheat gluten in Bosch mixer.  Mix for 1 minute with the whisk attachment. Then add hot water and mix for 1 minute.  Remove whisk and replace with dough hook. Cover and let dough set for at least 10 minutes, or until it has risen close to the top.  Add olive oil, honey, dough enhancer and salt. Turn mixer on and add 3 – 5 cups flour, one cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the side and is not super sticky.  (It is definitely better to add too little flour than too much). Knead in mixer for 7 – 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 170° and grease 4 bread pans. (I use 5” x 9” pans). Lightly oil your hands and divide dough into 4 equal portions (I use a lightly oiled sharp knife to divide the dough).  Place into greased pans and put into warm oven for 25 minutes to rise. Then, without even touching the pans, turn the oven up to 350° and bake for 20 -25 minutes. Remove and place on wire rack to cool.
