Best Whole Wheat Bread

I tried recipe #6652, but it needed a little revising.

Scald milk in a large pot.

Remove milk from heat and dissolve 1 / 2 cup honey into it.

While milk is cooling to room temperature , soften yeast in water with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Add milk to yeast mixture and then add the remaining ingredients except for 3-4 cups of flour.

Add enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough.

Beat or knead vigorously for at least 15 minutes.

Let rise until doubled in bulk , about 11 / 2-2 hours.

Punch down and form in to 5 loaves.

Let rise in greased bread pans until double , about 11 / 2-2 hours.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes.

I also use 100% home ground wheat in this and it works great !.
