"Wonder Bread"

Combine in a very large bowl:
4 tablespoons canola oil
4 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons salt

Add:
8 cups warm water and 2 tablespoons yeast
Stir and wait 5 minutes, until yeast is dissolved.

Stir in:
7 cups white flour
7 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups rolled oats (of if you prefer any combination of soy flour, rice flour, wheat germ, oats, or bran)

When dough is well-mixed (use your hands or a wooden spoon for this), scoop half of it into another large, oiled bowl, and let the dough rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. At this point you can punch the dough down, divide it into loaves, and place into seven greased pans. Or you can punch it down and let it rise in the bowls again. Just make sure you punch it down well after each rising.

Allow the bread one final rise in the pans. Bake the loaves at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped, rotating the pans midway through the baking to ensure even browning.

I usually divide the recipe in half or even by 2/7 and make 2 loaves, rather than 7! The recipe is from this book:
