Prepare Ingredients:

• Measure and set out all ingredients. Ensure yeast is fresh and water is warm (not hot).

Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together modified wheat starch, wheat gluten, oat fiber, powdered cellulose, whole wheat flour, salt, guar gum, and lecithin.

Activate Yeast:

• In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Form the Dough:

• Pour the yeast mixture and oil into the dry ingredients. Mix to form a shaggy dough.

Knead the Dough:

• Knead by hand for 5–7 minutes or in a stand mixer for 3–5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise:

• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1–2 hours).

Shape & Second Rise:

• Punch down dough gently, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased bread pan. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.

Bake:

• Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Cool:

• Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing for best texture and crumb.
