Ingredients
3 cups whole wheat flour + 1/4 c. board flour3/8 cup Hodgson Mill vital wheat gluten with vitamin C1 1/2 cups water at 110º F (warm)4 tsp (or 2 packets) active, dry yeast3 Tablespoons honey
If you are using a bread machine, add ingredients in the order specified by the manufacturer. Either set it for whole wheat or dough depending on whether you want to bake it in a traditional loaf pan or on a stone or finish it in the machine. I prefer to bake the dough in traditional pans.
********
If using the traditional method, combine 1 cup of the flour with the gluten, yeast, and optional salt. Add warm water and honey and stir to combine. Add the rest of the flour and combine well. (I use my stand mixer for this and the kneading, but it can be done by hand with a wooden spoon.)
Knead the dough well on a lightly floured board and place in a bowl you have sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to rise until double (about an hour).
********
Punch the risen dough down and shape it into a loaf. Place it in your sprayed loaf pan (or on a baking stone for a round loaf) and let rise until double (about 1/2 hour).
********
Bake at 350º F for about 25 minutes. Cool on rack.
********
This can be cut into 16 even slices if you let it cool first. If you can't wait, you will probably only get 8 slices, so figure the nutritionals accordingly. The posted ones are based on 16 slices.

Wonderful! I did go ahead and add the salt because having worked for years in a bakery I know that's part of what gives the bread it's nice texture. I also used Punkdebutante's tip and added more water to thin. My bread machine makes the large loaves and it still grew out of the top! Very tasty! - 3/20/11
