June's Whole Wheat Bread

For 3 loaves:

3 c. warm water

1/2 c. potato flakes

1/2 T. yeast

1/3 c. oil

1/3 c. honey

1/2 T. salt

1 beaten egg

6 or 7 c. ww flour (preferably ground ourself!)

In a standing mixer put water, potato flakes and yeast and allow to sit for a few minutes. Add everything else except flour and give it a few mixes. Add flour. I let it mix for about 7 minutes then turn it out on to floured counter and knead by hand for a few minutes sprinkling flour if needed. Oil a big bowl and place the dough in it and let rise until double. Take out and shape into three even loaves. Oil bread pans and put shaped dough into them and let rise until double. You can brush with egg white to give bread a shiny crust. Heat oven to 350 - 400 depending on oven and bake for 25-30 min. You can also add all sorts of seeds and nuts to the bread or just stuck to the outside before baking it. I like to add ground flax seed! Yum!!!

Enjoy!
