Directions

1 In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add honey, butter, salt, 2 1/2 cups very warm water and 3 cups of the whole wheat flour. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour.
2 With spoon, stir in 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups of the all-purpose flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.
3 On lightly floured surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup all-purpose flour; continue kneading 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray; place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
4 Generously grease 2 (8x4- or 9x5-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate; divide in half. Shape dough into loaves; place in pans. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
5 Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dough; bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Interrupted during mixing or kneading? Just pick up where you left off. Dough can wait as long as 15 minutes at room temperature. For longer interruptions, cover and refrigerate the dough for up to 4 hours to slow the rising process. When you return, gently push your fist into the dough to deflate it, and continue with the recipe.

Best bread I ever made. I have blue ribbons from Illinois State Fair and kudos from vegetarian supper club in AR but this is the bread my 12 year old grandson requests. Makes very good hamburger buns too.

This is a fantastic recipe! It's hard to resist when it's fresh out of the oven. It's great for lunches and breakfast. We've found it's amazing as a herbed turkey sandwich with mozerella, lettuce and a slice of tomato! I make this nearly every week instead of buying bread from the store. We have a convection oven so it cut the time nearly in half. Still turns out amazing every time.

I tried on my own with other recipes and even tried to wing it from what I gleemed in some cook books. Nothing worked. I love this recipe. My husband finally ate bread that I baked and didn't make "limbus bread" jokes. Trust me that joke is a rib! Thank you!
