Wheat-Oatmeal Honey Bread

My husband, Steve, and I stay busy as bees harvesting honey from our 500 hives. The bees supply our ThistleDew Farm market with 80,000 pounds of honey! I won first prize at West Virginia's Honey Festival a few years ago with this recipe.—ThistleDew Farm, Ellie Conlon, Proctor, West Virginia

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup quick-cooking oats

In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, 2 cups of all-purpose flour,
