Whole Wheat Bread

I made this bread today, and it was so good! The boys loved it too. Braden said, "Mom, I want you to make this bread all the time!"

1 Tbl yeast
1/4 c. warm water
2 1/2 c. hot tap water
7 cups whole wheat flour (or any combination of wheat and white flour)
1/2 Tbl salt
1/3 c. oil
1/3 c. sugar

In a small bowl, mix the yeast into the warm water (adding a half teaspoon of sugar will help it grow). Blend the hot tap water with about half of the flour in a mixing bowl. Add salt, oil, and sugar to mixture. Mix until well blended. Add prepared yeast mixture. Add the rest of the flour to make the dough just stiff enough to clean the sides of the bowl. Knead on low mixer setting for 10 minutes. On a slightly oiled counter, divide the dough into two equal portions, cover with a towel, and let rise until double in size. Shape loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size again. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
