Ingredients:
2 c. warm water (110 degrees F)
1 T active dry yeast
1/3 c. honey
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. salt
1/3 c. vegetable oil
5 c. all-purpose flour
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey and stir well. Mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Work all-purpose flour in gradually. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. (I used the dough hook on my Kitchen Aid.) When dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well-oiled bowl. Turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk--about 45 minutes. Punch down the dough. Shape into two loaves and place into two well-greased 9x5 loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough is 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
(I brushed my loaves with a mixture of 1 beaten egg and 1 tablespoon of water before baking to give it a more shiny, flaky crust.)
