Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

5 cups warm water
3 tbs. dough enhancer
1/4 cup oil
5 cups white wheat flour (hard white wheat)
1/2 cup honey
1 tbs. salt
mix well add 3 tbsp instant yeast
add about 7 more cups of flour
mix well and knead about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into loaves and rise about 20 minutes. Bake at 350 for 27 minutes.

In the process, you can add 1/4 cup of flax seed to increase health benefits!

Another way & smaller batch is: (pretty sure i followed this one - it's barely different than the top one)
(add in this order)
3 cups warm water
1/3 cup sugar or honey
2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil
3 cups flour (adding for the first time)
Mix together until sponge-like...
then add
2 tbs. of instant yeast
3-5 more cups of flour
mix for about 10 minutes in the mixer until smooth & elastic.
Shape into 3 -5 loaves (depending on your pan size) & let rise about 20 minutes (don't let it get too high!)
then bake @ 350 for 25-27 minutes
