2 1/2 Cups Warm Water
2 Tbsp. Yeast
1/2 Cup Honey
2 Tbsp. Oil
2 1/2 tsp. Salt
3 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
3 1/2 - 4 Cups White Flour
In a large bowl, stir together the water, yeast honey, oil,
salt, and whole wheat flour. Add white flour and stir until a stiff dough
forms. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 5 minutes or until it is
smooth and elastic, adding small amounts of flour as needed to keep the dough
from sticking. Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. Add the dough, turn it
over so the top is greased, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1
hour. Punch down the dough and let rise a second time until doubled, about 45
minutes. Generously grease 2 loaf pans with cooking spray. Punch down the dough
again and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place in the prepared pans. Let
rise until barely doubled, about 20 minutes (you don't want it over-raised or
the bread will have holes). Heat oven to 350. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the
loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove the bread from the pan and let cool on
a wire rack.
