The ingredients for Simple Whole Wheat Bread are:

3 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup honey
5 cups white flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon salt
3.5 cups whole wheat flour (may need up to 4 cups)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)

Here is how you make Simple Whole Wheat Bread:

1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup of honey. Add 5 cups of white flour and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes or until big and bubbly.2. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky (just pulling away from the counter, but still slightly sticky to the touch). This may take an additional 2-4 cups of whole wheat flour (I usually only need about 1.5-2 cups) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.3. Punch down and divide into three loaves. Place in greased 9x5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch. 4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25-30 minutes; do not overbake. You can lightly brush some melted butter or margarine when done if you desire (extra butter is not added in the calorie count). Cool completely.Makes three large loaves with 16 slices per loaf.Number of Servings: 48Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHAEMOMMY3.
