This is my mother's fabulous recipe.
Mother's Honey Whole Wheat Bread
2 packages or 4 and a half teaspoons dry yeast
5 cups warm water
¾ cups butter
¼ cup honey
4 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup sugar
½ cup instant mashed potatoes
½ cup nonfat dry milk
1 tablespoon salt
6 to 7 cups all purpose flour
Put the 5 cups of water in pan and add butter. Set Aside. Measure out, in a
large bowl, honey, sugar, salt potatoes and milk. Warm water to 105 to 115
degrees Fahrenheit. Add to sugar mixture. Add yeast to half cup warm water.
Add one teaspoon sugar. Add yeast to mixture and stir well. While that's
foaming, and rising, add 4 cups wheat flour to the water and butter mixture.
Stir well and add yeast mixture. Keep adding flour a cup at a time until its
mixed well. You shouldn't be able to stir it any more. Dump dough out on
floured counter and add the rest of the flour a little at a time. You start
with a cup, and then less. Keep kneading until it's not sticky. Let stand
for 5 minutes. Knead until smooth elastic and small bubbles appear in the
dough, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn out into greased bowl. Turn dough over to
grease top. Cover with kitchen towel and let rise for 1 to 1 and a half
hours. It should be doubled in size. Punch down dough and place on clean
cutting board. Divide in thirds. Cover with kitchen towel. Let it rest for
five minutes. Shape into loaves. Place in 3 9 by 3 inch pans. Cover with
kitchen towel. Let rise again until doubled, about an hour. Bake at 375
degrees for 50 to 55 minutes.
