Healthy Bread version of the Artisan Bread

5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all purpose flour
1 T kosher salt
1 1/2 T yeast
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
4 cups lukewarm water

STEP ONE: mix all ingredients with a spoon
STEP TWO: cover and let rise on the counter for 2 hours
STEP THREE: form loaves of bread (I put mine on parchment paper)
STEP FOUR: let loaves rise for 90 minutes (I cover mine with a bread cloth)
STEP FIVE: brush tops of loaves with water
STEP SIX: sprinkle with flour or with mixed crushed seeds (thank you 9 grain mix from WinCo)
STEP SEVEN: slice art-sy lines in the dough tops
STEP EIGHT: bake on a pre-heated tray or stone
STEP NINE: add steam water in a pan underneath bread stone
STEP TEN: recipe says to bake for 30 - 35 minutes at 450 (I do 2/3 the time and then let sit still hot and cooking on the counter for a bit)

I haven't made this one as much so throw in comments if you find better ways to do it - it just takes a bit more work and ingredients than the white dough recipe.
