Whole Wheat Bread

1. Pour 2 1/3 cups lukewarm water into a large bowl and add: 1 1/2 Tbs. yeast, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ, and 2 cups whole wheat flour. Stir 100 times, cover bowl with a damp cloth, and set aside for a while (1/2 hour or so).

2. Drizzle with 4 Tbs. melted butter and sprinkle on 2 1/2 tsp. salt and fold in.

3. Add 1 cup whole wheat flour and 3 cups white flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir in. (If you use a little less flour, that's fine.)

4. Knead for around 5 minutes.
