Honey Wheat Bread

I don't know who originally shared this recipe with Veronica but I thank you and her for sharing it with me. It is the best wheat bread recipe that I have ever come across.
Honey Wheat Bread

3 cups warm water (110 F)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T active dry yeast
Combine honey, brown sugar, and warm water in a large glass or plastic bowl. Add yeast and let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy
Add
4 cups whole wheat flour
Stir until no dry clumps remain. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes (20-30 is best) or until bubbly.
Add
2 tsp salt
2 T vital wheat gluten
2 T dough enhancer
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups flour (use either whole wheat flour, white flour, or any mixture of both).
Use Auto Knead function on mixer and knead until smooth (about 8 min). Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down and form into 3-4 loaves. Let rise again until doubled.
Bake at 350 F about 30 minutes.
