Mackenzie's Whole Wheat Bread

This whole wheat bread is super healthy and easy to make. We love it!

1/3 C. Olive Oil
1/34 C. Honey
2 1/2 C. Warm Water
1 1/2 Tbsp. Yeast
1 Tbsp. Salt
6-7 C. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. Vital Wheat Gluten
1 1/2 Tbsp. Dough Enhancer (optional)

Combine warm water, yeast, and 2 C. flour in a large mixing bowl. Allow to sponge for 15 minutes.
Add honey, oil, vital wheat glugen, salt, dough enhancer, and 4-5 C. additional flour until dough begins to clean sides of bowl. Do not allow dough to get stiff and dry, It should be smooth and elastic.
Knead the breade (by hand 7-10 minutes) until smooth , elastic, and small bubbles appear beneath the surface.
Form into 2 loaves and put into greased bread pans. Allow to rise in slightly warmed oven until double (about 30 minutes).
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until top and sides are golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
