Ingredients
For the first rise:3tbs yeast4 cups warm water4 cups whole wheat flourFor the second rise add:1/2 cup Earth Balance dairy-free buttery spread2/3 cup honey6 cups whole wheat flour6tbs vital wheat gluten
Directions
Mix first rise ingredients together and let rise 30 minutes. This step is called a sponge and is very important to allow the yeast to get a head start.

Add ingredients for the second rise (I recommend adding the "liquids: and the gluten and mixing before adding the flour though... For mess-free reasons ;-P ). Knead for 15-20 minutes if kneading by hand. May be done in heavy duty mixer such as Kitchen Aid with a dough hook. (Doesn't need as long a knead time with machine.) Place in large bowl covered with damp thin cloth until double. (about 30 minutes). Punch down and shape in loaves. (I use three 5X9 loaf pans) Grease pans, put loaf in, turn loaf out, turn over and replace in pan. Cover with cloth again and let rise until double or nicely risen above edges of pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or a little longer. Oil top of bread for a nice shiny crust (optional).
