Bread

Stella helped me make Honey Wheat Bread yesterday. The first 2 loaves I did completely with whole wheat flour. They looked kind of course as they were rising, so I did the next 2 loaves with 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat. This bread is like candy. Lather it with butter (and jam if you like jam) and you could seriously eat the whole loaf. Loaf is a funny word.

Here is the recipe:
6 cups hot water
1/3 cup honey
6 cups flour (this is where I put the white flour)
2 Tbls. Yeast
1 Tbls. Salt
1/3 cup oil
6-8 cups whole wheat flour

Add ingredients until the dough separates from the sides of bowl. Split dough into 4 sections. Press each into a rectangle, then roll it up and fold under the edges. Place it in a bread pan.


My friend’s recipe says to let it rise near heat for 15 minutes, but that’s only if you want a smaller really heavy loaf. I made more bread today and let it rise today for 45 minutes and it turned out a lot better than these loaves. I didn't fold under the sides on these first ones very well.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
