4 cups stone ground whole wheat flour
2 cups graham flour
2 cups white flour
2 (1/4 ounce) packets yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup powdered sugar (to prove yeast)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup honey
2 -3 cups warm water

Steps:

Combine all dry ingredients into standard Kitchen Aid mixer bowl and begin to mix on low for two minutes(I use the wire wisk attachment to keep it airy).
Switch to dough hook attachment and resume mixing at a medium speed.
Combine egg and vegetable oil and beat until mixed.
Add to bowl.
Warm honey in microwave to make it pourable and add to bowl.
Begin to slowly add warm water to bowl while mixing. Pour water until dough completely wraps itself around the dough hook in a large ball.
Grease a large mixing bowl and place dough in bowl.
Cover with a towel and let rise for an hour.
Grease two loaf pans and coat grease with flour. Divide dough into tow loaves and place in each pan.
Cover and let rise until dough rises 1-2 inches over top of loaf pan.
Preheat oven to 350 and bake loaves on center rack for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
Cover loaves with a towel on a cooling rack for an hour and then place in large ziplock bag for storage.
