Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Honey Wheat Bread

This Honey Wheat Bread recipe make three loaves or two loaves and a pan of rolls.

5 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
6 tbls melted butter
¼ cup honey
1 tbls salt
2 pkg (2 tbls) dry yeast
1 cup mashed potatoes
½ cup instant dry milk
4 cups wheat flour
7-8 cups white flour

Dissolve yeast in ½ cup of warm water. In a large bowl, add the melted butter, potatoes, honey and salt to the remaining 4 ½ cups warm water. Mix in the dry milk, whole wheat flour and yeast and beat until smooth.

Mix in remaining flour gradually to get a stiff dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured area. Knead the dough till smooth and elastic about 10 minutes.

Put in greased bowl and turn the dough over to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm area of 80 to 85 degrees until doubled, about 1 to 1½ hours. Punch down the dough and cut in thirds. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Shape into loaves and put into three greased 9x5x3 pans. Or two loaves and one pan of rolls.

Let rise till doubled and rounded above pan for about 1¼ hours. Bake at 375 for 45- 50 minutes. Cover in the last 20 minutes with a loose foil tent to prevent loves from getting too brown.
