Little Red Hen

I always feel like the Little Red Hen when I make wheat bread because I have to grind the wheat to have enough flour. I love this recipe!

Wheat Bread

In a small saucepan heat to warm:

2 cups milk

2/3 cup oil

1 cup honey

In a mixing bowl dissolve:

4 TBSP. yeast

1 TBSP. sugar

in 2 1/2 cups warm water. Add 2 TBSP. salt. Pour milk mixture into mixing bowl. Gradually add 12-15 cups wheat flour to make a soft but not sticky dough. (Today I used 13 1/2 cups of flour). Knead dough and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Divide dough into four equal portions. Shape each into a loaf and place in greased bread pans. Let rise for 20 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. Take out of pans and brush tops and sides with butter. Enjoy!
