How to Make 100 Whole Grain Wheat Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the oil, salt, and honey to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
3. Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. (You will likely use between 6 1/2 and 7 cups total).
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes on medium-low speed.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
