Simple Whole Wheat Bread

3 cups warm water 

• 1 Tbs. active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup honey or brown sugar
• 5 1/2 cups bread flour
• 
  
• 
  
• Add to Blendtec mixing bowl set to BREAD setting. Allow to mix for 1 minute. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly. Then add:
• 
  
• 
  
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/3 cup honey or brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 
  

While still on BREAD setting, press start and watch until dough begins to pull away from the bowl. Then press AUTO KNEAD button. When it stops, place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm oven until doubled. (About 1 hour.)

Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch. (45 min - 1 hour.)

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely.
