Whole Wheat Bread…

• 2 1/2 c. very warm water
• 1 T. yeast
• 1/2 c. honey
• 3 T. oil
• 1 T. salt
• 1/3 c. powdered milk
• 3 T. gluten
• 1/3 c. wheat bran (optional)
• 1/3 c. wheat germ (optional)
•  6 - 7 c. whole wheat flour (I highly recommend using white wheat flour.)

Dissolve yeast in water. Let sit 5 minutes to activate. Mix all other ingredients, starting with 2-3 cups flour. Mix for about two minutes, then start gradually adding the rest of the flour until dough leaves the side of the bowl but is still slightly sticky. Knead for ten minutes. Let raise about an hour. Punch down, shape into loaves and let raise again until double in size. Bake at 325* for 30-35 minutes.
