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.
 
    -   Punch down and turn onto floured board or surface.
 
    -   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.
 
    -  Roll out dough into a rectangle. Turning over at 
    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.
 
    -  If desired brush loaves with melted margarine and 
    return to the oven for five minutes.
 
    -  Turn out of pans onto racks and allow to cool.
 
    -  This bread may be frozen.
