Mixer Whole Wheat Bread

10-11 c. freshly ground whole wheat flour, divided
2/3 c. wheat gluten
2 1/2 Tbs. SAF instant yeast
5 c. warm water
2 Tbs. salt
2/3 c. canola oil
2/3 c. honey
2 1/2 Tbs. bottled lemon juice

In mixer, combine 7 cups flour, gluten and yeast and mix lightly. Add warm water and mix for 1 minute. Cover and rest 10 minutes. Add salt, oil, honey and lemon juice and mix for 1 minute. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time. When you think you have added almost enough flour, start adding it by the spoonful until the sides of the bowl are clean. Mix for 8 minutes. Let dough rest in bowl for 30 minutes or until doubled. Grease 4-6 bread pans. Spray pam on counter and cut dough into equal portions then form dough into loaves and place in pans. Let dough rest again until doubled in size, usually about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Brush tops with butter. Turn out of pans on side to cool on a cloth. Makes great rolls and cinnamon rolls too!
