2 packages active dry yeast

1 cup milk, warm, 105°F-115°F
1/3 cup honey
6 ½ cups Natural s’ Wheat Whole White Wheat Flour (Buy Now)
2 eggs
¼ cup shortening
2 tablespoons salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixing bowl.  Add milk and honey.  Beat in 3 cups of the flour and eggs.  Beat 100 strokes or 2-3 minutes on medium mixer speed.  Cover bowl and allow sponge to rest 20-30 minutes.

Mix in salt and flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough can be turned out on lightly floured surface to knead.  If using a dough hook, add shortening and complete by kneading on dough hook 8 minutes.  If kneading by hand, knead 10-15 minutes, gradually kneading in shortening.

Let dough rise in greased and covered bowl until double.  Punch dough and divide in half.  Let dough rest while greasing two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pans.  Shape, place in pans and let rise until double.  Bake at  375°F for 20 minutes.  Makes two loaves.
