Homemade Bread

Kitchen Aide or Bosch
7 cups flour (wheat or white) - plus 5 more cups
2 Tablespoons of yeast (sprinkle over the flour)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
2 Tablespoons salt (I use sea salt and do not eliminate salt)
5-6 cups of water

Put 7 cups of flour and 2 Tablespoons of yeast in your Kitchen Aide or Bosch.  Turn on and add water, mix for about 30 seconds, just to make sure flour and yeast are mixed well with the water.  Turn off and cover with towel for 20 minutes.

In a measuring cup put oil and honey together.  Once the 20 minutes are up, turn machine back on and add the honey/oil mixture, salt and remainder of flour. Mix for 8 minutes.  Once you start the timer for the 8 minutes turn your oven on to its lowest setting (mine is 170 degrees). 

After the 8 minutes turn machine off and put into a metal or glass bowl that you have sprayed with Pam and cover with towel(s).  Place in oven and turn oven off. Leave bowl in oven for 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes take out and put in 4 bread pans that have been sprayed with Pam and cover them with towel(s) and put back in oven for 15 minutes.  Once the 15 minutes are up, take loaves out and leave covered, turn oven on to 350 degrees.  When oven is ready take towel(s) off and put pans bake in oven and cook for 24 minutes.  Take out and  Enjoy!
