Wheat Bread

This the bread recipe that was used for the wheat cinnamon rolls for Father's Day. It yields 4 loaves or 4 batches of cinnamon rolls. It can be made with only wheat flour (no white) if desired, but cinnamon rolls seem to taste better if done with half white/half wheat flour -following the original recipe as follows.

4 cups of hot water
2 tablespoons of yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
--let mixture sit in mixer (Bosch) until it is bubbly (a couple of minutes). Then add the following:
2 eggs
3/4 cup powdered milk
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup oil
6 cups wheat flour
6 cups of white flour
2 Tablespoons of salt

add enough flour until the dough is pulling away from the sides, but not so much that the dough isn't sticking to the bottom (it shouldn't be wiping the sides clean). Let the machine knead the bread for 5 minutes. Let bread rise for one hour. Punch down and form into 4 loaves. Let rise again for 40 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or for 43 minutes at 310.
