I kind of used this recipe as a starting point and then went on to create a masterpiece! I also used the link anonymous cooker shared for making the bread by hand to give me additional guidance.
Also I made 2 loaves. Here's what I did.
I heated 2 1/2 cups milk in the microwave for 3 minutes to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was warming, I whisked 6 cups of sifted whole white wheat (sometimes called pastry flour) flour with 1 tablespoon salt and 6 tablespoons vital wheat gluten. Then to the milk I added 1/4 cup grapeseed oil, 1/4 cup molasses and 2 packages Hodgson Mills yeast (especially for whole grains). I mixed it up with a spoon and watched it until I saw bubbles then I poured it into the dry ingredients. After I mixed it thoroughly, I dumped it onto the counter and kneaded it for 10 minutes. I placed it in a lightly oiled bowl and put a damp paper towel on top. I put the bowl in the oven which was somewhere around 150 degrees Fahrenheit. I let it rise until it was double (about an hour). I punched it down and kneaded it 35 times and divided it between my 2 loaf pans and returned it to the oven for about an hour (until the dough was doubled and about 2 inches above the top of the pan). Then I removed the damp paper towel, turned on the oven to 350 and let the loaves bake until dark brown, about 1/2 hour. Superb!
