1/2 White & Almost 1/2 Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

4 cups white flour

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 ¾ TB. Yeast

¾ TB. Salt

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup oil

2 cups hot water

1 egg

½ cup powdered milk

Put 2 cups flour in mixer; add yeast, salt and sugar.  Mix well.  Add oil and water.  Beat until all yeast is dissolved. Then add powdered milk and egg and mix together.  Gradually add remaining 4 cups of flour while kneading with bread hook until dough begins to pull away clean from the side of the mixing bowl and isn’t sticky. 

After last cup is added, knead for about 7 minutes in the mixer.  Shape into desired shapes or loaves; rise until almost double. 

For large loaves, bake at 350 degrees for about 32 minutes.  Don’t preheat the oven.  If you want to preheat the oven, bake at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes.

*I make this bread once a week, it's so easy and always turns out well!
