Note the size of the baking pans. I make mine in a loaf and "English Cake" pan and they aren't big enough - I need to buy bigger pans for this recipe. It makes a lot of bread. Also, don't bother with the rolling out of the dough - in my experience, it just messes up the end product. I use more whole wheat than the recipe calls for - if you are a bread baker, you know how to play around with these things!

Honey of a Whole Wheat Bread

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:
* 3-1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flour
* 2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 2 pkg. active dry yeast
* 2 tsp. salt
* 1 cup milk
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup honey
* 3 Tbsp. oil
* 1 egg

Preparation:
In large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, the yeast, and salt and mix well.

In saucepan, heat milk, water, honey, and oil until a thermometer reads 120-130 degrees F (warm). Add liquid mixture to flour mixture along with the egg and stir to combine. Beat this batter for 3 minutes. Then, gradually stir in rest of whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose four to form a firm dough.

Sprinkle work surface with flour and knead dough, adding more flour if necessary, for 5-8 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning the dough in the bowl to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, until double in bulk.

Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll or press each piece of dough to a 14x7" rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal and place dough, seam-side down, into greased 9x5" bread pans, making sure short ends of bread are snugly fitted against the sides of the pans. Cover and let rise in warm place until the dough fills the corners of the pans and is double in bulk, 30-40 minutes.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until bread is golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

Thank you for making me feel that I'm not alone or crazy...or we're just both crazy. I ALWAYS do the same thing to myself. I do my cooking Thursday night. Then Friday comes, I decide to make just one more thing...then I get in the mood for something else, and make yet another...then I end up rushing till the last minute, and DH is stuck with a huge pile of dishes!
