Susan's Whole Wheat Bread

2 Tbsp dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
5 cups hot tap water
7 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup honey or molasses
2/3 cup cooking oil
2 tbsp salt
5-6 cups additional whole wheat flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water, set aside.  Combine hot tap water and the 7 cups flour in Bosch and beat until smooth.  Add honey, oil, salt and yeast, blending thoroughly.  Add remaining flour to make a dough stiff enough to knead.  Knead about 10 minutes.  Divide in 4 loaves and place in greased 9 x 5 loaf pans.  Let rise, but not until double.  Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes.
