Add 2 cups warm-hot water. Add 2 cups of whole wheat flour on top then the yeast, oil, and agave. (ok to use honey in place of agave). Turn on mixer. Mix the soda into a cup of wheat flour. Add to mixer. Add the wheat gluten flour. Add remaining wheat flour, let mixer knead the dough 6-8 minutes. Add enough unbleached bread flour to insure the dough pulls from the sides of the mixer bowl and is no longer sticky. Add about 1/2 cup at a time until dough reaches a smooth soft dough, but not sticky. Kneading is done when dough is no longer sticky and has a soft silky texture.

Turn out the dough onto counter top and form into a ball. Put dough into a large bowl coated with cooking spray. Bowl needs to be large enough to allow the dough to double in size. Cover with soft towel and let rise 35-45 minutes or until double in size.

Turn out dough onto counter or board. Cut into 5 equal portions (approx. 1 lb each). Form each portion into a smooth round ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Punch down each dough ball until flat,10 X 6 rectangle. Brush with bu tter, sprinkle with cinnamon & splenda brown sugar mix. Roll up starting with short side, into a tight loaf. Roll into a loaf shaped log. Tuck the ends under and form the dough until no seams show. Put into foil bread pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Spray the top of the loaves with additional cooking spray. Cover with same soft towel, and let rise til double. Loaves should raise nicely above the pan in a nice rounded shape.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Run a knife down the length of each loaf about 1/8- 1/4 inch deep. Spray with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil or melted butter. Put loaves in the oven and cook for 36-39 minutes (ovens vary) until nicely browned. Turn bread out onto wire rack to cool. When completely cool, put in large gallon size zip lock bag. Bread freezes very well. Be sure to eat a loaf hot with butter and honey or jam.
