100% Whole Wheat Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Add the first four ingredients into Bosch bread mixer along with FIVE cups of flour.
2. 2
   Mix briefly.
3. 3
   Let sit for 20 minutes to proof yeast.
4. 4
   (I know it sounds weird to proof instant yeast but this works).
5. 5
   After 20 minutes the mixture should be quite high, if not, throw out and start again with new yeast.
6. 6
   Then add the next three ingredients with 7 cups of flour.
7. 7
   You might use more or less flour but mix in one cup at a time until dough is sticky but not dry.
8. 8
   I add the gluten flour because, as far as I know, whole wheat flour has very little gluten and bread just won't rise well without it -- believe me I've tried and ended up with doorstops, reeeeeealy heavy doorstops!
9. 9
   After adding the last of the flour turn your Bosch down to 1 and knead for 7 minutes (I picked 7 just because it's a lucky number).
10. 10
    I'm sorta fanatical about the size of my bread so I weigh my dough, roughly 750 grams for whole wheat bread.
11. 11
    I get 5 full size loaves and 1 smaller one with this recipe.
12. 12
    I bake it on convection bake for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees in greased pans.
13. 13
    It doesn't taste like whole wheat and has a very light texture.
