Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 3 cups hot water (as hot as the tap will go)
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. After 5 minutes, add 2 teaspoons sugar.
  2. In a large bowl, mix hot water, 4 cups flour and wheat gluten.
  3. Stir in oil, honey, yeast mixture and 2 more cups flour.
  4. Add salt and stir in 1-2 more cups until dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
  5. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until not sticky, adding remaining flour until satiny and dough is just pulling away from the counter, but still tacky to touch.
  6. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a piece of cling wrap. Let dough rest / rise for 25 minutes.
  7. Turn out onto lightly oiled surface and divide into 2 pieces. Stretch dough to make a rectangle shape, roll tightly, and tuck the ends under, shaping into loaves. Place in greased 91/4 x 51/4 inch loaf pans.
  8. For Solar Oven: Allow top of dough to rise even with top of bread pans, then bake until golden brown and hollow sounding.
  9. For Conventional Oven: Allow dough to rise until it has topped the pans by 1 inch, then bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Do not over-bake.
