Bella’s Homemade Wheat Bread

      (Taylor Cannon’s mom)

5 loaf ingredients:                                            1 .67 loaves or 3 mini loaves:

15 cups wheat flour                                          5 cups wheat flour

2/3 cup oil                                                        ¼ cup oil

2/3 cup honey                                                   ¼ cup honey

2 T salt                                                              2 tsp salt

5 cups hot water                                               1 2/3 cups hot water      

3 T yeast                                                           1 Tbsp yeast

Combine oil, honey, salt, water and yeast in mixer.  Add 4 cups flour and mix on speed one.

Leave machine on while adding flour one cup at a time, until dough pulls away from sides and leaves sides clean.

Allow dough to mix for 10 minutes more.  Divide dough into 5 equal parts for 8 ½ size pans.  Roll each ball into a rectangle – then fold into thirds, like a business letter.  Pinch in and fold ends, rollup up to fit loaf pans.

Let raise for 20 minutes.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.  

If using thermometer bake until bread reaches 190 degrees.
