Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar2 Packages or 2 Tablespoons Active Dry Yeast1 Cup Warm Water9 Cups Whole Wheat Flour1 Cup Dry Powdered Milk1 Tablespoon Salt1/2 Cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Corn or Vegetable Oil1/2 Cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Honey3 Cups Warm Water
In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, the 2 packages of yeast, and the 1 cup of warm water. Use the larger measuring cup because the yeast will form a foam and expand.
In a large mixing bowl, measure 8 cups of whole wheat flour. Measure separately another 1 cup of the flour to be added to the dough last.
To the 8 cups of flour, mix in powdered milk, salt, oil and honey. Add 3 cups of warm water and mix well. Add yeast mixture and mix again. Add the separate 1 cup of flour last. Mixture will be stiff, so the last cup of flour can be incorporated into the dough by hand if you wish -- be sure to flour or oil your own hands first to avoid sticky hands.
Immediately, divide the dough into three greased bread loaf pans and press down so that dough is even in pans.
Set the three loaf pans in the oven leaving space between them and centered. Cover them with a clean DAMPENED cloth. Close the oven and turn heat on to 200 degrees. When oven lights, let it warm for 1 minute ONLY. Shut the oven off.
Without opening oven door, let bread rise for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, remove the cloth. Without removing the bread, shut the oven door and relight the oven to 350 degrees. Let bake for approximately 40 minutes. Check for doneness with toothpicks or by pressing centers of loaves for spring.
When finished baking and while still hot, tap out the loaves and cool on wire racks. For easier slicing, at this time you can brush the loaves with a small amount of melted butter.
Recipe makes 36 slices (12 slices per loaf).
