Wholesome Wheat Bread

1. 1

   In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add butter, honey, sugar, salt, milk powder and 3 cups whole wheat flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in remaining whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

2. 2

   Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into four portions. Roll each into a 15-in. rope. For each loaf, twist two ropes together; pinch ends to seal. Place in greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375u00b0.

4. 4

   Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
