Manna from Heaven

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 350oF for 25-30 minutes.  Do not overbake.
