List of Ingredients




2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
6 tablespoons shortening
1/4 cup honey
4 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 tablespoon salt
6 1/2 cups flour -- or more as needed

Recipe



Sprinkle yeast on 1/2 cup warm water; stir to dissolve.

Melt shortening in large saucepan, remove from heat and add honey and 4 1/2 cups warm water.

Mix whole wheat flour, instant potatoes, dry milk and salt. Add to saucepan; beat until smooth.

Add yeast and beat to blend. Then, with a wooden spoon, mix in enough flour, a little at a time ( 6 1/2 to 8 cups), to make a dough that leaves the sides of the pan.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny and small bubbles appear, 8 to 10 minutes.

Place in lightly greased bowl; turn to grease top. Cover and set in warm place to rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch dough down, turn onto board and divide into thirds. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.

Shape into 3 loaves and place in greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.

Bake in 400 degree oven about 50 minutes or until done. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.

Makes 3 loaves.
