Honey Wheat Bread

By: Dorothy Anderson 
"This recipe produces two beautiful, high loaves that have wonderful texture and slice very well. The tempting aroma of this bread baking can cut the chill from a cool autumn day. It's a tribute to the goodness of wheat. -Dorothy Anderson, Ottawa, Kansas"

Original Recipe Yield 32 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour, divided
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups whole wheat flour and yeast. In a saucepan, heat milk, water, honey, butter and salt to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F; add to flour mixture. Blend on low speed until moistened; beat on medium for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining whole wheat flour and enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into two loaves; place in a greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.
