Ingredients

4 c. water
7 1/2 c. whole wheat and unbleached flour (may use any combination of both)
2 Tbsp. dry yeast

In large measuring cup, warm water in microwave for 2 1/2 minutes on High; set aside.
In large mixing bowl, warm flour in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on High; set aside.
Mixing in 1 cup increments of warmed water, dissolve yeast; add to warm flour (do not mix).
Add honey or molasses and salt to flour; do not mix. Add remaining 2 cups warm water to flour; mix all ingredients well until you form a sticky dough; do not knead.
Grease 2 loaf pans with shortening.
(Optional:
After greasing pans, sprinkle bottom and sides of pans with oatmeal, sesame seed, poppy seed or your favorite \"sprinkles\".)
Spoon and divide dough mixture evenly into both loaf pans.

Set loaves aside out of draft (not in warmed oven); cover with towel and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes or until dough is 1/4-inch below top edge of pan and not over. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0; bake for 30 minutes and turn loaves out onto wire racks to cool.
