A wonderful bread recipe using all whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

1 cup lukewarm milk (110-115°F)
2 packages RED STAR® Active Dry Yeast
1 cup lukewarm water (110-115°F) 
⅓ cup honey 
2 beaten eggs
5 ¼ - 5 ½ cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup vegetable shortening

Instructions

1. Scald milk by heating until tiny bubbles form around edge and milk reaches 180°F. Let cool till lukewarm. OR use ⅓ cup dry milk powder and warm water to make 1 cup.
2. In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Beat in warm milk, honey, eggs, 3 cups flour, and wheat gluten. Beat 3 minutes on medium speed. Cover and allow sponge to rest 30 minutes.
3. Stir in salt and enough remaining flour to form a slightly sticky dough. To avoid adding extra flour in the kneading process, gradually knead in shortening by hand. If using dough hook(s) add shortening. Knead dough by hand or with hook(s) for 12 to 13 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in an oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover; let rise in 80°F place until double. Punch down. Cover; let rise again until double.
5. Punch down, divide in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes while greasing two 9 x 5-inch bread pans. Shape by rolling each half into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in pans, cover with a damp cloth; let rise in a 90°F place until double and indentation remains after touching.
6. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue to bake 25 to 30 minutes. Tent with foil to prevent over-browning. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

Makes 2 loaves, 18 slices each.
