Honey Whole Wheat Bread

food.com

  • 1 envelope active dry yeast
  • 2 c warm water
  • 1/4 c softened butter
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 c whole wheat flour
  • 2 c all-purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 c. water. Let proof for about ten minutes. In a separate bowl combine remaining water, butter, molasses, honey and salt. Add yeast mixture and flours. Stir until dough forms. Turn out onto well-floured (with white flour) surface and kneed for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary until dough is just barely sticky. Move dough to a well-greased large bowl, cover, place in oven above pot of boiling water and let rise until doubled, about an hour. Punch dough down. Let rest for five minutes. Divide in half. Grease two loaf pans. Place halved dough in each. Cover with a towel, return to oven and let rise until doubled again, just barely above the top of the loaf pan. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when thumped.
