I had made bread before this, and it fell flat. I decided to change the recipe up and add a little more. The second time was the charm. I hope you enjoy it. I know my family and I sure do like it! This yields 2 loaves. But sometimes I like to use one 11 3/4 in x 5 1/2 in loaf pan and bake for 50 - 60 minutes.

Anyone apprehensive about making bread can bake a loaf of this honey whole wheat bread. This homemade wheat bread is a little dense yet still fluffy. There's a slightly sweet flavor to it from the honey. Cut a slice and smear it with a bit of butter. Yum!
