Ingredients
- 10 cups Whole wheat flour
- 4.5 cups Warm water (110–115°F)
- 0.5 cup Raw honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Butter or coconut oil (softened)
- 2.5 tablespoons Dry active yeast
- 0.25 cup Vital wheat gluten (optional, for better texture)
Directions
Step 1
Start by adding the warm water and honey (or sugar) to the Bosch mixer bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
Step 2
Add the softened butter or coconut oil, salt, and vital wheat gluten (if using) to the bowl.
Step 3
Turn on the Bosch mixer at low speed and gradually add half of the whole wheat flour (about 5 cups). Mix until combined into a loose batter.
Step 4
Slowly add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, allowing each addition to incorporate before adding more. The dough should come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be slightly tacky to the touch.
Step 5
Knead the dough in the Bosch mixer for 6–8 minutes on medium speed, letting the dough develop elasticity. Properly kneaded dough should pass the 'windowpane test': when stretched, it should form a thin, translucent sheet without tearing.
Step 6
Lightly grease a large bowl and transfer the dough into it. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and allow it to rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Punch down the dough to release excess air and divide it into two or three equal pieces, depending on the size of your loaf pans. Shape each piece into a loaf and place them into greased loaf pans.
Step 8
Cover the loaf pans with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until the dough reaches just above the rim of the pans.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaves for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
Remove the loaves from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Store in an airtight container or freeze for later enjoyment.
