Moist, Light, & Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread
After trying Kim's (my sister-in-law) moist wheat bread, I HAD to have the recipe! It was delish! You HAVE to follow this recipe to a "T" if you want it to be moist, light, & fluffy... Don't substitute or skip any of the ingredients. I had to order the SAF yeast and Dough Enhancer from www.beprepared.com (which took a few days to get delivered, but it was worth it). The vital wheat gluten is VITAL! This is the best whole wheat bread I've ever eaten - even better than specialty bread store's bread!

DIRECTIONS
- In a medium-sized bowl, put 4 cups of the flour, the yeast, the dough enhancer, the vital wheat gluten, and the salt.
- In the mixer bowl (I mix mine in a Bosch mixer), put water, oil, honey, and lecithin.
- Add the dry ingredients from the bowl to the liquid in the mixer bowl.
- Beat with wire attachment until it forms a smooth batter. (About 3 minutes.)
- Place the dough hook on the mixer.
- Gradually add more flour and mix until it forms a soft dough. Continue mixing for about 10 minutes to knead the dough.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into 3 loaves.
- Place in PAM-sprayed bread pans and spray the top of the loaves with PAM and allow to rise for about one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350* and Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- ** If you don't use all white-wheat flour, cut down on the baking time as it will brown more quickly. **You can use red wheat flour, but it is slightly heavier. I prefer using all white wheat flour or 1/2 white wheat and 1/2 red wheat flour, but any flour will work.
