Easiest Ever Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups whole wheat flour

2 1/2 cups hot water (110°F)

1/3 cup vital wheat gluten

1 1/4 tablespoon yeast

1 tablespoon non-iodized salt

1 tablespoon Dough Enhancer

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup vegetable oil

First: Mix 3 1/2 cups ground wheat flour with all of gluten and yeast and 2 1/2 cups hot tap water. Run it in the mixer for about a minute. Let dough sit in mixer for about 10 minutes.

Next: After dough has risen for about 10 minutes, add the rest of the ingredients (2 1/2 cups of flour salt, dough enhancer, honey, oil) and run the mixer for another 5 - 10 minutes. While mixing this second time you may want to warm the oven for a couple of minutes and then turn it off.

Last: After mixing 5 - 10 minutes, remove dough and put it in bread pans filling each to about 1/3 to 1/2 way full. (I put a little oil on the counter, divide the dough in two for my size pans, and roll out to a rectangle. Roll up dough to form a log, seal seam, tuck ends under and place in pans.) Let pans sit in warm oven for about 15 minutes to let dough rise. After about 15 minutes, turn on oven to 350 and cook for 25 - 30 minutes or till golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
