Dixie's Favorite Bread

2 1/2 c. warm water
1/3 c. oil
1/3 c. honey
1 T. yeast
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. gluten flour
7 - 8 c. whole wheat flour (divided) Can use 1/2 white flour if desired

Mix first 5 ingredients a couple of minutes. Add 1/2 the whole wheat flour and the gluten. Mix well. Add remaining flour 1 c. at a time until it cleans the side of the bowl. Knead about 8 minutes. Shape into two 9x5 loaves. Let raise in warm oven until double (not above pan sides). Turn oven to 350° and bake 30 - 40 minutes. (Nicely browned and thumps hollow). 

Leave in pan 3 minutes, then cool in towel for soft crust, or cooling rack, Brush top with brush.
