Mom's Original Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

With many mouths to feed, Grammie would make up to 12 loaves of wheat bread a week to keep up the family stocked up. When kids needed to raise money this bread was sold to neighbors and church friends for extra funds!

Ingredients

• 4 c warm water
• 3 T dry yeast
• 6 T oil
• 6 T honey

Steps

1. Sprinkle yeast to water in large mixing bowl or Kitchen Aid.
2. Add honey to the water. Let dissolve for 5 min with yeast until bubbling occurs.
3. Add other ingredients. Add approximately 6 cups of whole wheat flour (I use my Bosch mixer) Add more WHITE flour if necessary until dough leaves side of bowl when mixing.
4. Spray 2 or 3 bread pans with pam. Form 2-3 loaves and place in pans.
5. Let rise in warm place covered with dish towel until dough reaches top of pan.
