Directions:In a microwavable glass bowl, microwave the milk, oil, salt and honey until lukewarm; set aside. Combine the 2 packages of dry yeast with 1/3 cup of warm water; set aside. Mix the whole wheat flour with the pastry flour. In a large mixing bowl, with a standing electric mixer, add the milk mixture, dissolved yeast and 2 1/4 cups of the flour mixture; beat 8 minutes. Mix in the rest of the flour mixture by hand. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes, adding extra flour if needed. Place into a large greased bowl and cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap, letting it rise until doubled. Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 pieces. Place each one in a greased 5x9-inch bread pan. Cover with tea towels and let rise again for at least 30 minutes or until doubled. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to continue to cool. |

Notes: Our Uncle Glen use to visit us every Thursday. During the summer months, he would bring along a loaf of delicious whole wheat bread from a farm stand in Indiana where our cousin Lois worked. We were lucky if the bread lasted through the evening. He finally asked Lois for the recipe and she was kind enough to share it. Mom would make it often throughout the years, especially after Lois left the farm stand and we no longer received our Thursday night bread fix. Eat it warm, slathered in butter or the next day toasted. It just doesn't get any better!
