Penny, Thanks for your recipe...would it work if I cut the sugar and cut the shortening. I am a HEALTH NUT. Regards, Aria

And chickenmom...take care of the chickens and later please post
the Honey Wheat Bread Recipe. Thanks

Okay Aria, here's the recipe for the honey wheat bread:

3 C. warm water (110 degrees)
2 pkgs. (.25 oz. each) active dry yeast
2/3 C. honey, divided
5 C. bread flour
5 Tbsp. melted butter, divided
1 Tbsp. salt
3.5 - 6 C. whole wheat flour (recipe leaves the amount up to you - see directions. I used about 4 - 4.5 cups total)

In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 C. honey. Add 5 C. bread flour, and stir to combine. Let it sit for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.

Mix in 3 Tbsp. melted butter, 1/3 C. honey, and salt. Stir in 2 C. whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2-4 C. of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.

Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9" x 5" loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by 1".

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely.

Hope you like it!

I have totally allergen free recipes, baking without wheat, eggs, gluten, or dairy-and they are sooooo delicious. Cybel pascal writes several allergen free cookbooks if anyone has allergies and her recipes are the best.

Well I'll give it another push...

DH gave me an Instant Pot for my b-day (along with way too much more, he's a keeper)! But I don't know what to start with...Ron, what's your #1 favorite thing to make in your IP? Something simple for a simple gal
