Submitted By: D. Kanon
Recipe Type: Bread
Ingredients
- 3 cups warm water, 110 degrees
- ½ oz active dry yeast
- ⅓ c honey
- 5 cups bread flour
- 3 T melted butter
- ⅓ c honey
- 1 t salt
- 3½ cups wheat flour
- butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and ⅓ c honey. Add 5 cups white bread flour, and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.
- Mix in 3 T melted butter, ⅓ c honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky, just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9×5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, do not over bake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with butter when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely.
