How to Make Wheat Bread 2 Loaves
- Scald 1 cup of milk and let cool to lukewarm.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 cup of shortening to the cooled milk.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of honey and 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.
- Add the milk mixture and 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.
- Beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon or electric mixer.
- Gradually add enough all-purpose flour (about 2-2 1/2 cups more) to make a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1-1.5 hours).
- Gently punch down the dough. Let rise again for another 30 minutes.
- Shape the dough into two loaves.
- Place the loaves in two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Let rise again until almost doubled (about 30-45 minutes).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
