Whole Wheat Bread Pull Aparts...

This recipe is from the kitchen of my Mom. Dad always requested homemade bread because his mother made it and those smells and tasted reminded him of her. Mom has an old wheat grinder and I remember grinding the wheat to make fresh whole wheat bread. Because Mom only made this on occasion this is such a treat for me! Like my Dad it reminds me of my mom, the lovely smells and the taste of the fresh warm bread smothered in honey out of the oven! YUM... My picky eaters just love the pull aparts and would not eat wheat bread otherwise. So the pull apart recipe is a great way to get the picky pants in your family to eat wheat!




Wheat Bread

2 T Yeast
½ cup warm water
1 T sugar

5 cups hot tap water
7 cups ground whole-wheat flour

Add:
2 T salt (I think this is too much- so I used 1 T).
2/3 cups oil
2/3 cups honey
1 more cup of flour

Add yeast mixture and blend thoroughly. Add 3-4 cups more of flour and then knead for 10 minutes. Oil hands and place into sprayed pans. Cover with damp cloth and let rise for 40 minutes.
Bake 350 for 40-45 minutes.
