Equipment

Stand Mixer
Bread Pans (6)

Ingredients

18 cups whole wheat flour (freshly milled or store bought - I prefer to use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour)
6 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
2 Tablespoons dough enhancer*
2 Tablespoons gluten*
⅔ cup vegetable oil (or canola, both work great)
⅔ cup honey
2 Tablespoons SAF Yeast (requires no pre-dissolving)
2 Tablespoons salt

Instructions

If grinding your own wheat, begin there (I use a hard white winter wheat, but red wheat is good too. Grinding the wheat using a NutriMill only takes about 4 minutes and it only has one ingredient: wheat!).
With dough hook in place on your Bosch mixer, place water, dough enhancer, gluten, oil, honey, yeast, and 6 cups flour in the bowl. On the Bosch mixer, flip the switch over to "M" to incorporate.
Add another 7-8 cups of flour and salt and turn the speed on the mixer to "1".
Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough cleans the edges of the bowl (takes just a minute or two).
Continue kneading dough on speed "2" for another 6-8 minutes.
Oil your hands and lightly oil a spot on a clean surface. Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape into loaves.
Put loaves into greased pans and let rise until double in size (about 20 minutes).
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes (internal temperature should be about 195 degrees and the outside will be nice and golden).

Notes

*While this recipe can be made without the dough enhancer and gluten, we highly recommend using them for the best results. The dough enhancer will improve the taste, texture and crust of the bread. The gluten allows the bread to rise, giving you perfect loaves. This recipe can be used to make monkey bread, breadsticks, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, pizza dough, rolls, or you can add other things to the bread such as sesame seeds, oatmeal, cinnamon, raisins- basically anything goes!
