Honey Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

2 envelopes yeast
4 cups water
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp. salt
6 cups whole wheat flour
4 cups white flour

Directions:

1. dissolve yeast in warm water
2. combine butter, molasses, honey, and salt
3. add yeast mixture, gradually add flours(just enough flour for dough to leave sides of bowl and is easy to handle)
4. knead on floured surface until smooth
5. put dough in buttered bowl, let rise until it has doubled in size
6. punch down, let rise a few minutes
7. divide into 4 parts, shape into loaves
8. place in greased pans, let rise an hour
9. bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes

*note-the bread is done when it is lightly browned on top and when tapped it sounds hollow.

WW info- each loaf is 39 points plus

We LOVE this bread. It does take some time, but it is well worth it. Try it, you will be glad you did.
