In an extra large bowl mix warm water, yeast, honey, olive oil, salt, and 4 cups of whole wheat flour.
Mix in the remaining 4 cups of whole wheat flour.
Clear space on the counter to knead the dough. Spread some olive oil on the counter and on your hands, and transfer dough from bowl to the counter. Knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 cups of whole wheat flour.
Divide the dough into either 4 loaf pans that are oiled, or form into rolls and place onto an oiled cookie sheet. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Bake the bread for 35 minutes.
Serve with your favorite Wild Groves Olive Oil and Domaine Carneros Wines!
