Step 1
Start by mixing the water, honey, and yeast in your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, until the mixture gets foamy and bubbly. Next, add 3 cups of flour, olive oil, eggs, wheat gluten, and butter to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed for a couple of minutes until everything comes together. Then sprinkle in the salt and the remaining 3 cups of flour. Keep mixing on low speed until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If it’s still sticky, add a little flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, kneading a few minutes after each addition until it feels just right—soft but not sticky.

Step 2
Grease a large bowl and transfer the dough into it. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest in a warm spot until it doubles in size, usually around an hour to an hour and a half. Once risen, gently punch down the dough and split it into two equal pieces. Place each piece into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan or shape into loaves on a baking sheet. Cover again and let them rise until doubled, about another hour.

Step 3
When your dough has puffed up nicely, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for 25 to 30 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 200°F (93°C). Let them cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
