CRUSTY HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD 
1 c. milk
1 c. water
1/2 c. honey
3 tbsp. butter
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 egg
1 tbsp. salt
3 1/2 to 4 c. all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour

Heat milk, water, honey and butter to 120 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, egg, salt and milk mixture. Mix well.

Gradually add remaining whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough. Knead until smooth and satiny.

Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. About one hour.

Punch down and divided into two equal parts. Shape into loaves and place into 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
