In Bosch mixer with dough hook add:
3 cups warm water
2 cups warm milk
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
4 tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons dough enhancer (optional…I personally do not use this)

Add 12-13 cups whole-wheat flour to make soft dough that cleans the side of the bowl.  Knead for about 10 minutes on speed 1.  Shape into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, filled breads, pull aparts, etc. and bake until golden after allowing whatever you have shaped to rise to double in size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes…possibly longer depending on what you’re baking.  This is just a basic dough that can be used for many different breads. 

Sorry for leaving out important details and thanks to Shawna for pointing that out to me!

1 cup Butter, softened (always use REAL butter and not margarine when baking)
1-2/3 cups sugar
1 tbsp molasses
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract (REAL vanilla extract and not imitation)
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
2-3/4 cups rolled oats
1-1/4 cups raisins (optional)
3/4 cup pecans (optional)

Cram the butter, sugar and molasses together. This usually takes us about 5 minutes or so. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well blended.

Combine the dry ingredients together (except for the oats, raisins, and pecans) in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

Mix in the oats (and raisins and pecans if desired) until well combined.

Spoon out dough into about 1 inch balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten out to 1/2 inch thickness and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until slightly firm. Don’t overbake. The cookies will set up slightly while cooling.

This will make about 3-1/2 dozen normal-sized cookies.
