2 pk Yeast, dry
4 c ;Water, warm
1/2 c Butter; softened
1/4 c Molasses
1/2 c Honey
2 ts Salt
6 c Flour, whole wheat
4 c Flour, white
Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Combine butter, molasses, honey, and
salt. Mix well. Add yeast mixture. Gradually add flour. Turn onto a
floured board and knead until smooth (this will take a fair amount of
shoulder; the dough is fairly heavy). Place in a large greased bowl, then
turn to grease the top. Cover with a clean tea towel, and let rise until
doubled, about two hours.
Punch dough down, and let it rest a few minutes. Divide into quarters, and
shape into loaves. Place in greased bread pans, and let rise about one
hour. Bake at 375 F. for 35 to 40 minutes.
