Description

Ingredients

• Nurse Heidi
• 2 ¾ C warm water
• 4 t. dry active yeast (I use Fleischmann’s Instant yeast)
• ⅓ C oil
• ⅓ C honey
• ¼ C molasses
• 1 ½ t. salt
• 2 C all purpose unbleached flour
• 6-6½ C whole wheat flour

Directions

• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
• Stir in the oil, honey, molasses, salt and 5 cups of the flour until well combined.
• Allow to rest 10 -15 minutes.
• Then, knead in enough flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is just barely not sticky, and knead for about 4 minutes.
• Put in a lightly oiled bowl, turn once to coat, and cover with a towel to let it rise until double (30-60 minutes).
• Turn on the oven to 375, punch down and form into two loaves and place into greased bread pans. Allow to rise for ONLY 9-10 minutes, then bake for 32-35 minutes.
• These loaves have even more oven spring than my original recipe, so dont fret if they havent risen very high before you bake them.
