INSTRUCTIONS

Crusty Honey Wheat Bread

1 cup milk 2 packages active dry yeast
1 cup water 1 egg
1/2 cup honey 1 TB salt
3 TBS butter or oleo 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups AP flour 1-1/2-2 cups AP flour
1 cup whole wheat flour

Heat milk, water, honey and butter to 120F. Assemble machine with dough hook or those with bread machine do their thing :). In large mixer bowl combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 c whole wheat flour, yeast, egg, salt and warmed milk mixture. Mix with dough hook at highest mixer speed for 3 minutes. Add 1-1/2 c whole wheat flour and 1-1/2 cup AP flour and continue kneading for 3 minutes. If dough is sticky, knead in enough of the remaining 1/2 cup AP flour to form stiff dough. Place in a greased bowl, turn once to grease top. Cover and rise until doubled, about an hour. Punch down and divide into 2 equal parts. Shape into loaves and place in 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3 pans. Cover and let rise until doubled about 1 hour. Bake 375F for about 35 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on rack.
