When a few of us went on the tour of the Food Storage Center we talked about using wheat to make bread. This is a recipe that several sisters said they use and they wanted me to share it with the rest of you. You can use all wheat flour or use part wheat flour and part white flour if desired. I believe they use a bread mixer to mix the dough. I made a batch last week and it turned out great and my family really enjoyed it!

Homemade Wheat Bread

2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
5 cups hot water
1 Tblsp. salt
10-12 cups flour (wheat or white, or a combination of them)
3 Tblsp. yeast

Mix oil, honey, water and salt together. Add 4 cups of the flour and mix until smooth. Then add yeast. Mix and add the additional 6-8 cups flour. Add flour until dough starts to leave sides of bowl. Knead for 10 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Divide into 4 loaves and place in greased pans. Let rise for 30 minutes or so. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Bread is finished when you tap it and it sounds hollow.
