So far, my favorite whole wheat bread recipe.

It uses white flour too, but is still fabulous!

Simple Whole Wheat Bread

3 cups warm water

2 packages active dry yeast

1/3 cup honey

5 cups white flour

Mix and let stand 30 minutes until big and bubbly.

Mix in:

3 T. melted butter

1/3 cup honey

1 T. salt

2 cups whole wheat flour

Knead, adding whole wheat flour until pulling away from counter or

side of bowl, but still a bit sticky to the touch.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides of dough.

Let rise until doubled.

Punch down.  Divide into 3 loaves.  Roll, fold, roll (as demonstrated in

Grandma Van Doren's recipe) and place in greased bread pan.

Let rise until at least one inch above top of pan.

Bake at 350^oF for 25-30 minutes.  Do not overbake.
