Best whole wheat bread I've made. Easy and fairly quick to make. No kneading necessary, but optional.

Start with a large bowl.  If you have a KitchenAid, that works great.  If you do not, you can use a large bowl and mixer until it gets too stiff for a mixer.  You will then need to mix by had with a large sturdy spoon.

In the bowl add:

1 cup olive oil

2 large eggs

2 tbs salt

1 1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup vital wheat gluten

1 1/2 cup very hot water (I put it in the microwave for a minute 30 seconds)

mix well

add while mixing but after allowing it to mix for at least a couple minutes

2 tbs yeast

then add

5 cups warm water

10 cups whole wheat flour

continue mixing

now add and if you are using a mixer, by now you will have to change to hand mixing with a stout spoon

either:

2-3 cups chopped dried fruit

or

2 cups smashed ripe bananas

or 

2 cups cooked brown rice

or 

2 cups rolled oats

mix well.  you may want to kneed the bread if you do not have a stout bread mixer

pour into 4-5 bread pans that have been sprayed with oil or well greased,

cover with a towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes

place in an oven, preheated to 350 for 45 minutes.

Allow to cool, cut, eat and enjoy.  Better is my favorite thing to add.


Best gluten free bread I've ever made or had. Good rise and doesn't fall apart.

Start with a large bowl.  If you have a KitchenAid, that works great.  If you do not, you can use a large bowl and mixer until it gets too stiff for a mixer.  You will then need to mix by had with a large sturdy spoon.

Add into the bowl:

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tbs salt

2 large eggs

1 cup very hot water

mix then add while mixing

1 tbs yeast

then add:

2/12 cups warm water

continue to mix

add 7 cups gluten free flour.  I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rice Flour

You could probably use any rice flour and oat flour may also work

Instead of 7 cups flour you can use 6 cups and add a cup of chopped dried fruit or cup of banana.

Pour into two bread pans sprayed with oil.

Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes.

Put into a preheated oven (350 degrees) for 45 minutes.  Allow to cool, remove from pans and enjoy.
