Honey Wheat Bread

Look at this Folks!!!

Yep, it worked! YAY! And the family loved it. I used to make it years ago(obviously if you look at my last post) but then the kids were young and not interested in eating it. So this was a very nice bonus.

So here is the recipe I got from a Weight Watchers magazine years ago:

2 pkgs dry yeast
1/3 cup honey
1 cup warm water (105-115)
1 cup half and half
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
4 3/4 cups white flour(approx.)

Dissolve yeast & honey in water–let stand for about 5 minutes. (Now this can depend on the type of yeast you are using. This time I used a rapid rise all natural yeast, dissolved it in the liquids, immediately adding the other ingredients. The directions however on the yeast said to add to the dry. *shrug* It worked either way )

Add milk, eggs — blend well.

Add whole wheat flour & salt, blending well.

Gradually stir in enough flour, 1/2 cup at a time to form soft dough.

Knead 5-10 minutes - on well floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place in large bowl coated with cooking spray - coat top - cover - let rise in warm place about 45 minutes.

Knead 4-5 times, divide into 3 equal portions(I did two but for the Weight Watchers points to work it needs to be 3 - 1 point per 1/2 inch slice then) make rectangle, roll and place in coated pans, cover and let rise.

Preheat oven to 375 - Bake for approx. 20 minutes - remove from pans immediately and EAT!

Yummy!
