Beth's Bread

This recipe comes from a mother of ten children. She is amazing!  Unfortunately, she passed away several years ago from cancer. Her spirit lives on and so does her delicious bread! Thank you, Beth!

Combine in a mixing bowl:
1 1/2 cups white flour
2 1/2 Tbsp. yeast

Warm together in a pan or microwave until warm, but not too hot:
1 3/4 cups water
3 Tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup honey

Add the hot liquid to the bowl containing white flour and yeast. Using dough hooks on a mixer (or I mix by hand!) mix in:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Continue mixing by hand and add:
1 1/4 cups white flour

Knead five minutes. Divide into two equal portions. Place in greased loaf pans and let rise 20-25 minutes in the oven on warm setting. Then increase heat to 350* and bake for 25 minutes. You may brush the tops with butter if you like. Makes 2 loaves.
I substitued 1/2 cup of ground flax seed for 1/2 cup of the white flour at the end and it gave it a yummy flavor! Enjoy!
