In a large bowl, combine:

 

4 cups warm water (110 °)

2 Tbsp. dry yeast

1/3 cup liquid sweetener

 

Let sit until bubbly.

 

Add:

 

4 cups flour, one cup at a time, beating after each addition. Cover and place in a warm spot for 15 - 30 minutes, or until bubbly.

 

Add:

 

1/4 cup oil

3 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. lecithin - optional (use vegan type; when using lecithin, you may omit oil)

 

Add remaining flour, 5 - 5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. May use other whole grain flours, or 1/2 cup soy flour in place of equal amount of whole wheat flour. Knead well. Let sit in warm place until double in size. Make into loaves; place in pans. When loaves have almost doubled, place in pre-heated oven and bake for 55 minutes at 350°. Remove and cool briefly, then remove from pans and allow to cool standing on end, or on cooling rack.
