Honey Wheat Bread

This is the honey wheat bread I make almost every weekend. My partner no longer even wants to buy store bought bread! The original recipe did not call for kneading, although I do knead a bit.

2 cups bread flour
2 cups wheat flour
3 teaspoons yeast
1 3/4 cups lukewarm water
3 tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1. Dissolve yeast in water, add honey and let stand until it bubbles, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Add salt and oil to yeast mixture, then add flour a little at a time until you have a stiff dough.
3. Turn dough out on a floured surface and mold into a ball shape. Place in pan and cover; let rise for about an hour.
4. Punch down the ball of dough and mold it into a loaf shape to fit your bread pan. Cover with a towel and let rise again until doubled in size.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Bead is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when thumped.
