WHEAT BREAD5 to 5 1/2 cups of hot tap water
2/3 cup oil
1/3 to 2/3 cup of honey
1 Tbsp of salt
Mix in machine
Add 4-5 cups of flour. Mix.
Add 3 Tbsp SAF yeast (this is a must don't substitute, in fact this is the only yeast I use, it is full proof). Mix.
Continue mixing until adding 1 to 1/2 cups at a time until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. AFter this has happening I will add about 1 cup of flour and then let the machine run for 5 minutes just kneading the dough. Total flour used is like 12 to 14 cups. Let raise for 45 mins (SAF yeast tends to raise faster than regular yeast) and then punch down shape into loaves let rise 30 mins and then bake in oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 mins. Makes four large loaves.
