How To Make mama's whole grain bread

• 1

  Place 2 cups hot water in a mixing bowl. Do not use metal bowls for breads. I finger test my water, it should be hot enough that you can "just" hold your finger in and not feel like I need to pull it out. add to this the honey and margarine/butter. when margarine is melted add the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes to activate, or get all bubbly.

  Start adding all your other ingredient leaving the salt and bread flour for last.Add bread flour as needed to make a ball that you can knead without it sticking, about 10 minutes

  Grease a bowl, plop the dough in and then turn it to grease both sides. Cover and let raise in a warm place (I put mine in my oven under my oven light) for 1-2 hours till double in size. Cut in to two loaves and place in 2 greased, medium size bread pans. put in warm place. raise again for 1-2 hours and bake at 350 degrees for 27 minutes.

  Now I live in Colorado with some altitude so your raise times might be different, probably longer then mine.
