Honey Wheat Bread
A very flavorful and hearty wheat bread with a touch of sweetness
|
One of Pat's favorite bread recipes.
Usually a part of any bread basket gift given by the Soltys family. We
usually use a mixer with dough hooks for a lot of the initial work.
Makes at least two full size loaves. |

Preparation Notes |
1 Cup |
Milk |
- Heat milk, honey, water, and butter to 130 degrees
- Put all of the wheat flour, half of the white
flour, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add the egg to the honey mixture and mix
with a fork
- Add the honey mixture to the dry mixture and begin
mixing with dough hooks or a spoon until all ingredients are blended
together.
- Gradually add the remaining flour and continue
mixing. Dough will become stiff and sticky.
- Knead with dough hooks until a ball forms and
exterior is a bit shiny. Add a little more flour if dough is too wet
and won't form a ball. If kneading by hand look for the same
indicators.
- Place in a greased bowl, turn dough once so that
all sides are greased. Cover bowl with a hot damp towel and allow to
raise until double. Usually between 30 and 60 minutes.

- Knead dough for a few minutes by hand.
- Divide dough into 2 - 4 equal parts depending on
the size of loaves you wish to make.

least once
- Brush surface with melted margarine.
- Roll rectangle like a jelly roll, fold over the
ends and place in loaf pan or on cookie sheet.
- Repeat for each loaf.
- Allow to raise until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Bake for ten minutes and then reduce heat to 350
degrees and continue baking for 30 - 35 minutes.
