Whole Wheat Loaf

As a young housewife and mom, i was concerned about the health of my family.

Learning that whole wheat products are more nutritious than refined ones, I looked for a recipe for whole wheat bread. Thankfully a friend of mine gave me a recipe and so goes my trial and error in making homemade whole wheat bread.

Here are the ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water (lukewarm), 2 Tbsp. yeast, 1-1/2 cup milk (lukewarm), 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup sugar or honey, 1 tsp. salt, 1 egg, 6-7 cup WW flour

Here's the procedure:

1. Mix water and yeast, let stand 5 -10 minutes.
2. Mix next 5 inredients and add to first mixture. Let stand 15 minutes.
3. Add 3 more cups of flour and knead using last cup for dusting. Use just enough to avoid sticking to your hands (about 10 minutes).
4. Let rise 1 hour or till double.
   
5. Punch down, shape and put in greased pans. Let rise again.
6. Bake at about 1 hour at 350 degreesF.
