Honey Wheat Kansas Bread

Pat Habiger, Spearville, Kan., submitted this recipe in the breads category of the second volume of Down Country Roads Home Cookin’ cook book. She notes this hearty whole-wheat honey bread is great right from the oven, covered with butter. It’s great toasted too.

2 cups lukewarm water
3 cups bread flour, or all-purpose flour
2 packages dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1 cup cooking oats
1/3 cup instant non-fat dry milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup sunflower nuts, unsalted

In large mixing bowl combine water, flour, yeast and sugar. Beat with electric mixer on low speed for 3 minutes, cover and let dough rise until double, about 30 minutes. The mixture will become spongy. Stir in whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, oats, dry milk, margarine, honey and salt. Mix well. Stir in sunflower nuts, then with a spoon mix in as much of the remaining flour as possible. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead in enough flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Shape into a ball, place in greased bowl, turn once. Cover, let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 8- by 4- by 2-inch loaf pans. Cover, let rise in warm place until almost double, about 30 minutes. Bake loaves in 375 F oven for 35 minutes or until bread is golden brown.
