Easiest Whole Wheat Bread

EASIEST WHOLE WHEAT BREAD 

to make 2 (8x4 in) loaves

3 1/2 c whole wheat flour

1/3 c gluten flour

1 1/4 T instant yeast

2 1/2 c steaming hot tap water

1 T salt

1/3 C honey or 1/2 C sugar

1 1/4 T bottled lemon juice

2 1/2 c whole wheat flour

Mix together first three ingredients in mixer with a dough hook. Add water all at once and mix for 1 minute; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Add salt, oil, honey or sugar and lemon juice and beat for 1 minute. Add last flour, 1 cup at a time, beating between each cup. Beat for about 6-10 minutes until dough pulls away from sides of the bowl. This makes very soft dough.

Pre-heat oven for 1 minute to lukewarm (170 degrees) then turn oven off. Turn dough onto oiled counter top; divide, shape into loaves and place into oiled bread pans. Let rise in warm oven 15-30 min until dough reaches top of pan. Do not remove bread from oven. Turn oven on to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on racks.
