Perfect White Wheat Bread

This is a wonderful bread that's simple to make.

4 c. hot water (as hot as you can get)
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. canola oil
1 T. salt
9 - 10 c. flour (I've also used red wheat)
2 T. yeast

Instant yeast method: mix all ingredients in order given.

Non-instant yeast method: mix yeast with 1 c. water and let rest 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients in order given.

If kneading by hand, knead until smooth and elastic. If using a mixer, knead 8-10 min. (Do not use a Sunbeam Mixer. I can promise from experience, you will get better results kneading by hand).

Let dough rest 5 minutes. Prepare pans, 2 - 4 depending on size.

Divide into loaves and let rest 10 more minutes.

Place in cold oven. Turn heat on to 350 degrees and bake 40 - 50 minutes. ENJOY!!!
