Homemade Wheat Sandwich bread

I have pretty much gone gluten free in all of my baking/cooking lately and decided today to treat the family (minus little missy) to some sandwich bread full of gluten. I found this wonderful recipe and just had to try it. If I had to do it again I would 1/2 the recipe as it got everywhere on my kitchen aid mixer (5qt). It is super yummy and has an amazing texture. The family gave it a five star rating and said they would rather this than any store bought bread.

Homemade Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe

Ingredients:
6 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
2 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
4-1/2 cup very warm water (120°F to 130°F) cups very warm water (120°F to 130°F)
2 cups Spelt or white flour
4 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
Butter or margarine, melted, if desired

Instructions:
1. Combine coconut oil, honey and 4-1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the oil is melted.

2. Place whole wheat flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. With the paddle attachment, mix about 15 seconds on Stir. Continuing on Stir, add warm water mixture to flour mixture. Mix about a minute.

3. Then with the dough hook in place, add the spelt and all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Mix about 2 minutes, or until dough starts to clean sides of bowl, adding flour as necessary. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.

4. Place dough in greased bowl, and turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 40 to 60 minutes or until double. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched. Form your loaves and place them in buttered loaf pans to rise for about an hour.

5. When they look the right size, bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. Remove immediately to a cooking rack, brush tops with butter, and try to wait a few hours before cutting into one. Serve warm or room temperature.

6. Freeze extra loaves and defrost as needed
