Combine water, yeast and 2 cups of the flour in a mixing bowl. Set aside to sponge for 15-20 minutes, until risen and bubbly.

Add honey, oil, salt, and 4 cups of flour. Mix until dough starts to clean sides of bowl. 

Turn out onto a foured surface and to knead for 10 minutes. Add only a few tablespoons of flour at a time if dough sticks to surface, being careful not to add too much.

Form into two loaves and place in greased bread pans. Allow to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubeled in size.

Immediately remove from pans to cool on a rack. Allow to completely cool before slicing.
