Here is the Whole Wheat Bread Recipe that I like to use.  I tweaked my regular bread recipe that I used to use before we went to using all whole wheat and this makes a fairly moist Whole Wheat bread that my family enjoys.

SueQ's Whole Wheat Bread

4 cups water
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tsp salt
1/3 cup dry yeast
1/2 cup honey
2 T black strap molasses
12 cups whole wheat flour

Combine 3 cups water with honey, salt, and molasses.  Beat in oil, 4 cups of flour.  In a separate bowl, dissolve 1/3 cup dry yeat in 1 cup warm water.  Add the yeast mixture to dough and beat until smooth.  Add remaining flour until dough leaves sides of the bowl.  Work dough really well.  (I found that working it really well helps break it down and rise better.  I have the children each mess with it for awhile. LOL)  Let rise until double.  Place into greased bread pans.  Let rise and bake at 350 degrees until done.

Enjoy!
