Honey-whole wheat bread (Low fat)

This is one of my favorite recipes. I use it for everything my pizza dough, hell burger buns, bread and rolls. It is the best.

Prep: 35 min

Rise: 1 hour. 5o min

Bake: 45 min

makes: 2 loaves (16 slices each)

3 c. Whole wheat flour

1/3 c. honey

1/4 c. shortening or butter

1 T. Salt

2 Pkgs. yeast (2 T)

2 1/4 c. very warm water (Think hot tub)

3 to 4 c. whole wheat flour (remember add slowly until dough comes off sides of mixer or becomes the right consistancy. Sticky but workable.

Combine in microwave safe bowl. Honey, shortening, salt, warm water (I cook for 1 minute at a time. Remember you want to think hot tub). Not too hot and not luke warm. If it is too hot I place a metle spoon in the bowl and that helps it to cool faster.

Combine heated ingredients with 2 c. of flour and yeast. Mix for 3 seconds and look to see if the yeast is alive (bubbling). If it is continue adding flour slowly until right consistancy.

Oven: 375

Bake: 40-45 (if making loaves of bread) After your bread is done cooking pull out of your bread pans onto a cooking rack or towell and rub butter on top to make the crust really yummy.

12-15 min (if rolls)
