Jo's Whole Wheat Honey Bread

This is my favorite bread recipe. I got it years ago from a neighbor in Elgin who was really into natural foods, including goat's milk.

Ingredients:

Mix together:
• 2 pkg. dry yeast
• 2 1/2 c. warm water

  Add:

• 2/3 c. dry milk
• 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 t. salt

  Combine, then add to yeast mixture:

• 1/2 c. oil
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1 egg

  Beat well; stir in (and knead in)

• 5 1/2 - 5 3/4 c. whole wheat flour

Instructions:

1. Knead 5 - 8 minutes.
2. Place in greased bowl, turning. Cover.
3. Rise 1 hour until double.
4. Punch down. Divide in half and put into loaf pans. Cover.
5. Rise 45 minutes.
6. Bake 35 - 40 minutes at 350'. (Mine usually takes a bit longer; check if done by thumping on bottom of bread for hollow sound.)
7. Enjoy!
