WHOLE GRAIN HONEY BREAD 
4 3/4 to 5 c. all-purpose flour
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1/3 c. honey
1/3 c. cooking oil
5 c. whole wheat flour
1 beaten egg white
Poppy or sesame seed

In bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour and yeast. Mix honey, oil, 3 cups warm water (115-120 degrees), and 5 teaspoons salt; add to flour mixture. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in whole wheat flour and as much remaining all-purpose flour as you can mix in with a spoon. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes). Place in greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise until double (50-60 minutes). Punch down; divide dough into 3 portions.

Shape into loaves; place in 3 greased 8 x 4 x 2 inch loaf dishes. Cover; let rise until nearly double (40-50 minutes). Brush tops with egg white; sprinkle with poppy or sesame seed. Bake in a 375 degree oven 40-45 minutes or until done.
