Quick Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups hot water (as hot as you can from the tap)
2 heaping Tbsp. salt
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup oil
4 Tbsp. yeast
*2 Tbsp. dough enhancer (opt.)
*1/3 cup gluten (opt.)
15 - 17 cups whole wheat flour

Combine all ingredients except flour in a bosch (or you could mix them by hand).  Add 10 cups flour.  Mix well.  Add 5 more cups flour.  Mix well.  Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough starts to "clean" the sides of the bowl....the dough doesn't stick to the sides anymore.  Mix on high in the bosch for 8 minutes (or knead by hand for about 15 minutes.)  Divide into 6 loaves.  Put in greased loaf pans.  Let rise for 30 minutes.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
*If you don't have dough enhancer or gluten, just substitute 2 cups of white flour for 2 cups of wheat flour.

I can do this recipe in 1 1/2 hours...start to finish.  If you are having to mix and knead by hand it will probably add about 20 minutes more.
