Display units in Metric

3 ¹⁄₂	cups	warm water
1 ¹⁄₂	teaspoons	yeast
¹⁄₄	cup	honey
7	cups	whole wheat flour Divide in half
2	teaspoons	sea salt
2	tablespoons	olive oil

mix 3.5 cups warm water, 1.5 tsp. yeast, and 1/4 c. honey in your mixer bowl and let the yeast proof.

Next mix up and add half of your 7 cups of whole wheat flour (3.5 cups), 2 tsp salt and 2 heaping tablespoons olive oil.

Mix it all up and let it sit for one minute. You can just use a wooden spoon here.

Now add the second half of the flour (another 3.5 cups). I do this part in the Kitchenaid. Mix it on high for 7 min. Then let sit for 15 minutes.

Dump the dough onto a floured surface and divide in it half (I use one of those big pastry scrapers). It will be quite sticky and stretchy so work quickly and with plenty of flour.

Shape it loosely into loaves, put it in two pans and let it rise until it's sticking over the top of the pan. I line my pans with parchment paper and reuse it over and over.

Bake the bread at 350 for 35min.

Comments & Personal Notes

I tried making this and the dough just kept climbing up the KitchenAid dough hook and gumming up the shaft? I cleaned the shaft three times. I couldn't even get it to mix 7 minutes. It was very sticky. It even kept unlocking the mixer head it was dancing around the counter so much. Did I do something wrong? (It's not done yet, so I don't know if it will come out or not.)
