10 - 12 c. whole wheat flour
2/3 c. oil
2/3 c. honey
6 c. warm water
3 Tbsp. gluten *
2 T. salt
2 T. yeast *
2 tbsp. dough enhancer*
Combine several cups flour with all ingredients, making sure you put the salt in first and the yeast last. Mix for 2 minutes. Continuing adding the flour, 2-3 cups at a time until you get the right consistency. Knead for 10 minutes. I use my KA for this, so only have to knead a bit when I put in the last few cups. My KA only takes 12 c. flour.
*Gluten and dough enhancer can be purchased at any health food store.
*I found though that I don't need to use the gluten or dough enhancer because instead I use 2 tbsp. lecithin granules* and 2 tbsp. lemon juice. It works perfectly.
*Lecithin granules can be purchased at any health food store in their refrigerator department and must be kept in refrigerator at all times
*Yeast is instant yeast. I use fermipan and purchase it in 15.9 oz pkg. I keep it refrigerated at all times.
I use this recipe with freshly ground grain that I do myself. So you may have to play with it a bit to get it right if your purchasing whole wheat grain at a grocery store.
