Honey Wheat Bread

I got this recipe from an old roommate and it is fabulous! I have never made loves like these and it was sooooo easy and so quick! We'll definitely be making this again!

2 tablespoons yeast

1/2 cup honey

1 tablespoon salt

4 cups hot tap water

5 cups of whole wheat flour

3 cups white flour

Stir yeast, honey, salt, and water together.

Add flour and stir until no longer lumpy.

Spread flour on counter, and knead dough, adding a little flour as you go so that it doesn't get sticky.

Knead until smooth and elastic--probably about 10 minutes total.

Put back into bowl and spray sides with non-stick cooking spray.

Raise until doubled--about 55 min.

Cut into fourths and mold into 4 giant smooth mounds.

Put all 4 mounds on a cookie sheet and let rest about 15 min.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 min. Cover loaves with foil after 25 min baking.

Brush with butter.

Makes 4 loaves.
