Ingredients
-
15 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute 2–3 cups with white flour)
-
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
-
2 tablespoons salt
-
⅔ cup honey
-
⅔ cup coconut oil
-
6¼ cups tepid water
Instructions
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the tepid water, honey, coconut oil, salt, and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast.
-
Add Initial Flour: Gradually add about 10 cups of whole wheat flour to the mixture, mixing until a wet dough forms.
-
Incorporate Remaining Flour: Continue adding the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky.
-
Shape Loaves: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into greased loaf pans.
-
Let It Rise: Cover the loaf pans with a damp cloth and let the dough rise until it reaches the top of the pans, about 30–45 minutes.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
-
Cool: Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on wire racks before slicing.
