Honey offers natural sweetness.

Pour 4 cups of warm water into a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the warm water and mix.

Let the yeast mixture sit covered for 10 minutes until foamy.

In a mixer, add the foamy yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon of pink Himalayan salt, and 1/3 cup of canola oil.

Add 1/3 cup of honey to the mixture.

Gradually add 10-12 cups of all-purpose flour, starting with 5 cups, then adding 1 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes until smooth and not sticky.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.

Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and divide it into three equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a loaf and place in greased loaf pans.

Cover the loaves with a towel and let them rise again until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the loaves for 30 minutes until golden brown.
