Wheat Bread

This recipe is a favorite of one of my friends in my ward. It is delicious and easy to do and is quick for homemade bread. It was designed for the Bosch Mixer but I am sure could be used with any mixer or by hand if needed.

Turn oven on to 250 degrees. Put five cups of hot water in Bosch mixing bowl. Add 4 cups whole wheat flour. Mix well. Add 2 Tbs. yeast. (Use Fleshmann's yeast for bread mixers or SAF Instant yeast) Let stand with lid on for 2-3 minutes so yeast can dissolve. Add 2/3 cup of canola oil, 2/3 cup of honey, 1/2 C. vital wheat gluten and 2 Tbs. salt. (can also add 2/3 C. powdered milk if you want to use your powdered milk food storage) Mix briefly. Add enough wheat flour until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and isn't sticky to the touch. Mix on high for 3 minutes.

*****TURN OVEN OFF*****

Turn dough onto counter and divide into 4 equal parts. Form into loaves and place in loaf pans that have been generously sprayed with cooking spray. Place loaves in warm oven to rise for 25 minutes. Leave loaves in the oven and Turn oven on to 375 degrees and bake for 23-25 minutes. Remove loaves and take out of the pans immediately. Place on cooling rack and coat top of each loaf with butter, pat off excess butter with a paper towel. ENJOY!!!
