Whole Wheat Bread (from Betsy)

No pictures as I'm not eating or making much bread these days but a friend asked for bread recipes. So, by special request...

4 cups whole wheat flour
8 tsp salt
4 packages dry yeast (4 Tbsp if you buy bulk)
1 1/2 sticks of butter (3/8 pound)
1 cup honey
6 cups hot water (about 140º)

Mix well. Add whole wheat flour one cup at a time until ready to knead. Takes about twelve cups total, more or less. Knead five minutes. Let rise til double.

Shape into four loaves, let rise until double again.

Bake at 375º for 40 minutes.

Eat the first loaf with butter while hot. Mmmmmm. :)
