Mike's mom, Jeanette, passed this recipe on to me a few weeks back and I finally had time this Friday to test it out. She said she was given the recipe when she attended a cooking class in Skagway way back when they lived there!
My Kitchen Aid bowl was almost not big enough, do they make larger bowls? I think I need one!
Dissolve 2 TBS (2 pkgs) yeast with 1/2 cup warm water.
Set aside.
Set aside.
Blend 8 TBS Honey
3 1/2 cup warm water
4 cup wheat flour
Add yeast to blended mixture and Beat with mixer for 3-5 minutes.
This is called sponging.
This is called sponging.
Let this set for 1 hour.
Add 2/3 cup oil
3 tsp salt
6 cup wheat flour gradually
knead out with white flour. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
shape into loaves and let raise until double
bake in 375-400 degree oven for approx. 20-30 minutes.
makes 4 loaves
These turned out awesome! They weren't as dense as my other wheat bread recipes, nice and moist and not at all doughy. VERY good. I will make this again next week! Thank you Jeanette!

This looks really good. I also like baking bread with honey in it. It just seems healthier.
Also, it looks like you have the same kind of kitchen aide mixer as I do, the professional one that costco sells. I can't imagine if they sell a bigger sized bowl, but they might. I know you can by extra bowls for it on the kitchen aide website.
And I was also wondering what the mug was doing in the oven. Does it have water in it or something? Just curious.
yes, the mug I put hot water in with the bread while it rises in the warm oven (I turn the oven on for a minute then turn it off) and put my bread in to rise with a mug of hot water - it seems to help with the rising, and keep the dough from getting too dry while rising.
