Wheat Bread

Partly whole-wheat slightly sweet

Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110-115°)

1 tablespoon milk (warmed)

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1½  cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1½  cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons instant active dry yeast

Directions

Stir first 6 ingredients in a large mixing bow. Add both flours and yeast, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic - about 10-15 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Punch dough down; knead for a few minutes until smooth and then form into a loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and cover. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. If loaf starts browning too soon, lightly lay a piece of foil on top of the loaf to prevent too much darkening. Remove bread from oven and allow to rest in pan for a few minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cover with a cloth.

Eat it while still warm! Bread may be frozen until needed. Refrigeration is recommended as homemade bread molds quickly.

Yield 1 loaf
