Honey whole wheat bread — Skylar Powell

1 pkg. active dry yeast

2 ¼ cups water (110-115 degrees)

1 T. sugar

1/3 cup honey

3 T. vegetable oil

1 ½ tsp. salt

½ c. dry milk

6-6 ½ c. whole wheat flour

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; add sugar and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the honey, oil, salt, dry milk and 3 cups flour. Beat for 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead for about 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn out onto lightly floured board; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased bread pans. Cover; let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Yield: 2 loaves
