Wheat Bread

Ingredients:
*1 cup very warm water
*3 Tbsp. yeast
*1/3 cup oil
*3/4 cup sugar
*1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
*1/3 cup gluten
*2 Tbsp. dough enhancer
*8 cups whole wheat flour
*3 1/4 cups war water
*2-3 cups white flour

Directions:
1.  Dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup water. (Make sure to let it get really foamy.)

2.  Mix in all ingredients except white flour. Mix well.

3.  Let sit for 20 minutes.

4.  Add white flour, one cup at a time. Add just until dough is firm but still stretchy. (It shouldn't be sticky.)

5.  Place dough into greased bowl. Turn one to coat. Cover and raise in warm place until doubled. (Probably about an hour.)

6.  Shape into 4 loaves. Place in greased bread pans.

7.  Raise.

8.  Bake at 325-degrees for 33 minutes.
