Holly's Hearty Whole Wheat Bread

My sister, Holly gave me this recipe and it's the best wheat bread recipe I've found yet. Sorry it's taken me so long to post it Jenn!

Mix:
1/3 C Warm Water
2 Tbsp. Honey
1 1/2 T Yeast

Let sit for five minutes. Add to:

4 C Nearly Scalding Milk
1/3 C Oil
1 Tbsp Salt
1/3-2/3 C Honey*
8 C Wheat Flour

Mix everything together and if dough is still sticky and wet, add additional Bread Flour until bread is no longer sticky. Once everthing is incorporated, let sit five minutes, then knead for ten minutes. Let dough sit for twenty minutes then form into loaves. Allow to rise to double then bake at 420 degrees for 12 minutes then 320 degrees for 20 minutes.

* We haven't quite decided how much honey to add; it really depends on how sweet you want it. I normally do about a half a cup and the bread turns out super tasty. Let me know what you think!
