Honey Wheat Bread

1 (.25 ounce) package rapid rise yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups bread flour

1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup water warm water.

2. Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, butter, honey, salt and wheat flour in mixer. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add white flour and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough for 80 seconds in mixer or 10 minutes by hand. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.

3. Punch down and divide dough in half. Roll out each half and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in 9x5 bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.

4. Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

5. Bake for 25 to 35 miutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.
