100% whole wheat bread

Measure 6 cups of the whole wheat flour into a large bowl, holding back the rest so the dough is not hard.

Put the oil in a bowl and coat the whole dough in it so it does not dry out.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled or tripled, about an hour depending on room temperature.

Punch down to remove the excess air and turn onto the work surface, flouring it if the dough is sticky.

Divide into three (or two for big loaves) and shape each into a loaf to fit the pan.

variation: spray the top with water and sprinkle with grains or nuts of choice.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
