Liz's Wheat Bread

Makes 4 loaves (if using a Bosch)

Grind 6 cups wheat to make 9 cups of flour (you can use more or all whole wheat, if desired)

Using the dough hook with your Bosch, into the bowl add the following:

5 1/2 cups very hot tap water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
wheat flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
2 Tbsp. dough enhancer
3 Tbsp. yeast

Mix until combined, then add 4-5 cups white flour or bread flour to make a soft, but not sticky dough (amount of flour will vary depending on the humidity level). Knead on '2' for 8 minutes. Pour a small amount (2 Tbsp.) oil on counter; drop dough onto oil and divide into half and then half again - to make four loaves. With fingers, press out any air bubbles, then roll up (like a jelly roll) and place into greased loaf pans. Allow to rise until double, about 30 minutes. Bake 21-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn out on wire rack. Let cool on side. Put in bags when just cool.
