Makes 2 loaves of bread
5 cups whole wheat flour(additional flour approx 2 more cups)
1/4 cup Gluten Flour
3 heaping tablespoons of Apple Sauce (substitute: 2/3 cup oil)
1/2 cup Honey (substitute: 1/2 cup sugar)
1 tablespoon Salt (heaping)
1 tablespoon Yeast
2 1/2 Cups Warm Water (must be warm)
Mix yeast and warm water together and let sit 5-10 minutes.
Put all other ingredients in your mixer. Add yeast/water mixture and turn on mixer(I use a Kitchenaid stand mixer) for approx. 8 min. (Use bread dough hook to mix) While mixing add additional flour a little bit at a time. When done it will pull away from the bowl. (Additional amount of flour may vary according to your elevation) Split dough in two equal portions, shape dough, and put olive oil on top to prevent it from drying out, then place into greased and floured bread pans. Let rise in a warm, draft free area till doubled in size. Then preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.
When done, remove from pans immediately onto a rack to cool.

The texture and flavor of this recipe is fantastic. The Gluten flour gives it a chewy bite that doesn't disappear after a day or two like most breads I've baked. I love it!
