Combine the warm water, yeast, lecithin and 2 cups of whole wheat flour in a large mixing bowl.
Allow to sponge for 15 min. Add the honey, oil, gluten, salt and 4-5 cups additional flour until the dough begins to clean the sides of the mixing bowl. This is true whether you are mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or using a dough hook attachment with an electric mixer.
Knead the bread by hand for 7-10 min. or until it is very smooth, elastic and small bubbles or blisters appear beneath the surface of the dough.
When hand kneading, oil your kneading surface and your hands with 1-2 tsp. of oil. This will help reduce stickiness and help you avoid too much flour.
Form the dough into loaves. Allow to rise in a slightly warmed oven or other warm place until double in size (about 30-60 min.) Bake loaves for 25-30 min. in a 350°F oven. Bread is cooked through when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and the top and sides are golden brown in color.
