It's always bread!

Yeah, I know! Just about any post now is about bread.  Actually, I do an update post next! Anyway, I found this bread recipe and really liked it!  The only problem is, it makes 3 loaves and there is NO way I can make it through 3 loaves when I barely get through 1 before it molds.  So, if you need 3 loaves, follow the link, but if you only want 1, here's the scaled down version in easy-to-find format!

Amish Soft Honey Whole Wheat Bread

1 c. warm water

1/3 tsp. sugar

2 tsp. yeast

1 egg, room temperature (can place in bowl of hot water while yeast sits!)

1/4 c. honey

1/4 c. butter, softened (original recipe calls for Crisco, but I don't ever use that stuff!)

2 tsp. salt

3-2/3 -4 c. whole wheat flour

Mix yeast, water and sugar; let stand 10 minutes until foamy. Add rest of ingredients together and knead for 6-10 minutes until smooth. I usually use my KitchenAid for the first 5-6 minutes and then do the rest by hand.  The more you knead, the more the inherent gluten is developed and the less need for any vital wheat gluten.  Let rise in warm place until about double in size.  Prepare loaf and place in greased loaf pan and allow to rise until double again.  Bake about 35 minutes at 375° or until the interior of the bread is 190°.
