A Traditional Whole Wheat Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. yeast
4 c. warm water
1/2 c. honey
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 c. oil
14 c. fresh ground wheat flour (more or less)

Preparation

Mix in a large bowl.
Dissolve yeast in warm liquid (85\u00b0) with 1 teaspoon honey.
When it bubbles up (5 to 10 minutes), add remaining honey, salt, oil and 3 cups flour.
Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with mixer.
Add 1 more cup flour; beat briefly. Add remaining flour until you have a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a firm, lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough by hand, pushing the palms of your hands firmly into the dough, folding the dough in half towards you and giving it a quarter turn.
Repeat. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add more flour as you knead; don't allow dough to get too dry.
