My sister and I were in 4-H, and Mom was our breads project leader for years. Because of that early training, fresh homemade bread like this is a staple in my own kitchen. -Karen Wingate, Coldwater, Kansas

Wholesome Wheat Bread Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 55 min. + cooling

Yield: 32 Servings

25 55 80

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 tablespoon salt
4-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2-3/4 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the sugar, butter, honey, milk powder, salt and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Add enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 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 down. Shape dough into traditional loaves or divide into fourths and roll each portion into a 15-in. rope. Twist two ropes together. Place in greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

I make this almost every other day! We love this bread for sandwhiches! I recently tried this with coconut oil instead of the butter and agave instead of the honey and it is still amazing. I did add 1 tablespoon of vital wheat gluten per one 1 cup of wheat four and my kids really like the white wheat flourl.
