1
Put the hot water in a mixer-bowl, sprinkle with yeast, then drizzle the honey over the top.
-
2
Set in a warm, sunny spot, let it get foamy.
-
3
Meanwhile, in a separate mixing bowl combine 4 cups of flour with the rest of the ingredients (except the oil) and mix well.
-
4
Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add the mixed ingredients, then the olive oil.
-
5
Using the dough hook, knead on low for 10 minutes, gradually adding the rest of the flour, until it forms a ball and is no longer sticky.
-
6
You may need less or more than the original 13 cups of flour.
-
7
Grease the mixing bowl with cooking spray, form the dough into a nice, big ball and place in the bowl, then spray the top of the dough, and lightly cover with plastic wrap.
-
8
Place in a warm, sunny spot to rise for about 40 minutes.
-
9
On a lightly greased surface, dump out the dough, divide into 5 balls of dough, and one at a time, roll out into a large rectangle, about an inch thick, then roll tightly up and fold the edges under, to make a nice loaf shape.
-
10
Place into well greased loaf pan, spray a large sheet of plastic wrap and loosely cover the loaf to let it rise again, you guessed itin a sunny, warm spot, (if possible) for 35 minutes, or until the dough rises an inch or so above the edge of the pan.
-
11
Remove the plastic wrap, (obviously) and place in a COLD oven.
-
12
THEN, turn the oven on to 350* and set the timer for 35 minutes.

After the bread is out, dump it onto a cooling rack, and if you like, run a stick of butter or margarine over the top to make it beautiful and shiny.
