Oatmeal Wheat Bread


*This is a big Bosch mixer sized batch of bread*

Combine:
6 c. wheat flour
4 1/2 c. warm water
3 Tbsp. yeast
(I combine my water and yeast first until bubbly, then add the flour)
Mix for several minutes in mixer.

Add:
1/2 c. brown sugar
2/3 c. honey
2 eggs
2/3 c. oil
Mix well

Add:
2 c. oatmeal
2 Tbsp. salt
Mix

Add 3-5 c. white flour, adding a little flour at a time until dough is soft and smooth (I've had to add a lot more than 5 cups when I made it and it was humid).

Divide dough into 4 loaves and put in bread pans. Cover with moist towel and let raise until dough is above the edge of the bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
