1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white or bean flour
3 Tbsp. yeast
2 3/4 cups water
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp. salt
2 Tbsp. wheat gluten
4-5 cups whole wheat flour
In large mixer bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of wheat flour, white or bean flour and yeast. In saucepan heat water, oil, honey and salt just till warm. Add to dry mixture in bowl. Beat at low speed with electric mixer for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Let dough sit in bowl to sponge, 20 minutes. In separate bowl combine 3 cups wheat flour and gluten. Add to sponge mixture and stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead till smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes). Preheat oven to 200. Shape dough into two loaves; place in 2 greased loaf pans, turn oven off and put loaves in oven to rise 20 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Remoe from pans. For a soft crust, put hot bread on a towel to cool.
