Mandy's Whole Wheat Bread

I personally think that my cousin Mandy has perfected whole wheat bread. This is her recipe, and all credit goes to her experimentation!

5 c. hot water
1/3 c. oil or butter
2/3 c. honey
1/2 c. cooked oats (I like to use leftover steel-cut oats)
12-14 c. freshly ground white wheat (if using red wheat, use half white flour)
2 T salt
2 T rapid rise yeast
(I like to add 1 egg)

Mix together in a heavy-duty mixer like a Bosch for 5 minutes. Rise til doubled, punch down and let rest for 10 minutes. Form 4 loaves and let rise til doubled again. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
