Time 1h45m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups water
1/3 cup oil
2 tablespoons honey, melted
2 tablespoons yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup white flour
5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • In a mixer bowl add water, oil, honey, yeast, salt and white flour mix together.
  • Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour and blend together.
  • Add remaining flour in small amounts to get a firm but elastic texture (more flour may be added if needed).
  • Knead on high speed for 10 minutes. Dough should be firm but elastic.
  • Form into 2 loaves and place in well greased loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in size. (Could be covered with a damp kitchen dish towel) about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. (if you press on the dough at the corner of the pan it should dimple (or leave an indentation) when ready).
  • Bake at 350'F for 30-45 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped (if necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 5-10 minutes of baking to prevent over browning) Immediately remove bread from pans. Cool Completely on wire racks.
