Put the water in the bread machine first.

Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the water.

Add 1 tablespoon of honey to activate the yeast.

Pre-measure the other ingredients into a bag for convenience.

Add 1 pound of sprouted whole wheat flour to the bread machine.

Add regular unsprouted whole wheat flour and vital wheat gluten to the mixture.

Make a well in the flour and add 1 tablespoon of yeast.

Select the dough cycle on the bread machine and start it (about 90 minutes).

After the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and dump it onto the counter.

Divide the dough into two pieces for two loaves.

Shape each piece into a loaf shape and place them into greased bread pans.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) for 1 minute, then turn it off.

Place the loaf pans in the warm oven to rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes).

After rising, remove the pans from the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) again for baking.

Bake the loaves in the oven for about 30 minutes until done.

Let the bread cool completely in the pans before slicing.
