I tried 100% Whole Wheat Bread, but it needed a little revising.
Ingredients:
8 cups milk, scalded
1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
3 packets yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons salt
3/4 cup vital wheat gluten
18 -20 cups whole wheat flour
Directions:
1. Scald milk in a large pot.
2. Remove milk from heat and dissolve 1/2 cup honey into it.
3. While milk is cooling to room temperature, soften yeast in water with 1 Tablespoon of sugar.
4. Add milk to yeast mixture and then add the remaining ingredients except for 3-4 cups of flour.
5. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough.
6. Beat or knead vigorously for at least 15 minutes.
7. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 11/2-2 hours.
8. Punch down and form in to 5 loaves (I like'em big!).
9. Let rise in greased bread pans until double, about 11/2-2 hours.
10. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
11. Cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes.
12. Note: for extra fun, add soaked cracked wheat, oatmeal, etc.
13. I also use 100% home ground wheat in this and it works great!
