Whole Wheat Bread

Heat milk to simmering. Stir in oil, salt, and honey; cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add to cooled milk. With electric mixer at low speed, beat in 3 cups flour; beat for 8 minutes. Add 2 cups flour and mix well. Turn out on floured board (this is where the additional 1/2 cup flour is used for the several kneadings) and knead until dough in smooth and elastic. Place in oiled bowl, cover and set in warm place to rise until doubled in bulk (at least 1 hour). Punch down, knead lightly, and return to bowl to rise again. When double in bulk, punch down and form into 2 loaves. Place in 2 lightly greased loaf pans. Cover, let rise.

When double, uncover and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on rack. Cut each loaf into 18 slices.
