SOFT AND DELICIOUS TWO-HOUR WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Makes 4 loaves

5 cups warm water
2 Tbs. yeast
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1/3 cup potato flakes
6 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbs. salt
4 to 5 cups unbleached flour

Dissolve yeast as per package instructions. Make a sponge
using all ingredients down to, and including salt. Use
bread mixer or hand-held electric beaters. Let rest about
10 minutes. Add remaining flour gradually as needed to
make a soft dough. Knead on floured board; cover with
plastic wrap and let rise until double. Punch down; shape
into four loaves; place in greased bread pans. Cover and
let rise again until double.

Bake at 350o for 30 to 40 minutes. Put hot bread on a
towel to cool for a soft crust.
