90-Minute Whole Wheat Bread

Recipe from a Stake Preparedness Fair... It has changed breadmaking forever! This is an easy, fail-proof recipe!

5 cups warm water
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup oil
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
10 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons dry active yeast



In mixer, combine water, honey, oil, and salt with dough hook. Add 6 cups whole wheat flour. Mix until combined. Add yeast, and stir until just combined. On medium speed, add remaining 4 cups whole wheat flour. Increase speed to high for 12 minutes.

While dough is kneading, preheat oven to 250. Spray loaf pans (4 8-inch or 3 9-inch). When dough is ready, scrape into pans. Place into oven and turn oven off. Set timer for 20 minutes to allow bread to rise. After 20 minutes, leave oven door shut and set oven to 350. Set timer to 40-45 minutes for larger pans or 35-40 minutes for smaller pans.

When bread it done, remove from oven and lightly brush tops with butter for a soft crust. This bread also keeps better in the fridge or freezer.
