Easy Vegan Wheat Bread

2 1/2 cups warm water
1 T molasses
2 yeast packets
3 cups whole wheat flour

Mix water, yeast and molasses in a large bowl.  Pour in the 3 cups of wheat flour and mix well.  Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a dry place.  Let sit for 20 minutes to a full day.

1/2 cup minus 1 T molasses
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/4 C soy milk
3-4 C unbleached white flour
1 t salt

Pour in the molasses, oil, soy, milk and salt.  Mix.

Add white flour a 1/2 C at a time.  After about 3 cups, the mix will get pretty dense.  Begin to knead.  It will still be sticky.  Add another 1/2 - 1 C flour and knead the bread.  Knead it for 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

If making loaves of bread:
Cut into 2 equal parts.  Shape into loaves and put into 2 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 greased bread pans.

If making 24 rolls:
drop blops of dough onto a cookie sheet

You can also make 1 loaf of bread and 12 rolls

Cover the pans with the towel - put in warm place.  Let dough double in size.  It takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Bake:
Loaves of bread at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
Rolls at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
