Baking Bread

.

Tuesday's are my baking days around here.

So, I thought I'd share a great recipe that a sweet friend gave us.

5 Loaf Whole Wheat Bread

2/3c. oil

3/4c. honey

51/2c. hot water

3 heaping TBS yeast

up to 15c. whole wheat flour

(works well in a Bosch or any kind of mixer)

Mix together oil, honey, hot water and yeast .

Let sit for about a minuet until the yeast starts to bubble.

Slowly add the flour until the mixture is very slightly sticky.

You made not need the whole amount of flour.

When it has reach the consistency you want, kneed for about 12min.

When the time is up, place in bread pans and set some place warm with a dish cloth over it.

Preheat oven to 350.

When it has risen to about double in size place in the warm oven and cook for about 20-25min.

Take out and let cool for a little while, then place on cooling rack to finish cooling.

This is our favorite bread so I end up making several batches.

I think the last time I made it I made 12 loaves! :)

When you have growing boys you end up making a lot.

Sometimes I will fold raisins and cinnamon it to a couple of loaves for a breakfast bread.

I have also folded in oatmeal.

and this last time I made an Italian loaf by folding in cheese and parsley.

What we don't eat right away I freeze.

Do you know of any other combs I could try?
