Jane's Whole Wheat Bread

Jane Jones 

When my kids were young I always made big batches of bread. I loved it when bread   

machines came out - the kind that mixed, rose, and baked the bread - but we didn't like
the loaf shape. So I tweaked the recipe to make 2 loaves - a bigger batch -  and used the
dough setting. At that point I shape the loaves, put them in two pans, let them rise and bake them.
It's so fast and easy that I still make bread a couple times a week with some to give away.

2 1/2 cups hot water

2 Tbsp. oil or applesauce

6 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 
2  tsp. salt

2  tsp. yeast

1  tsp. dough enhancer (heaping)

1/3 cup powdered milk

1/3 cup brown sugar

Put all ingredients in order in bread maker. Put it on dough cycle. When dough cycle is

over, take it out and shape into 2 loaves. Let rise until double in size and then bake

at 375 degrees for 23 minutes.
