MAKE 6 LOAVES OF WHOLE WHEAT BREAD IN ONE HOUR!

Steps:

• If grinding your own wheat, begin there (I use a hard white winter wheat, but red wheat is good too. Grinding the wheat using a NutriMill only takes about 4 minutes and it only has one ingredient: wheat!).
• With dough hook in place on your Bosch mixer, place water, dough enhancer, gluten, oil, honey, yeast, and 6 cups flour in the bowl. On the Bosch mixer, flip the switch over to "M" to incorporate.
• Add another 7-8 cups of flour and salt and turn the speed on the mixer to "1".
• Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough cleans the edges of the bowl (takes just a minute or two).
• Continue kneading dough on speed "2" for another 6-8 minutes.
• Oil your hands and lightly oil a spot on a clean surface. Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape into loaves.
• Put loaves into greased pans and let rise until double in size (about 20 minutes).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes (internal temperature should be about 195 degrees and the outside will be nice and golden).
