Wheat or White Bread ("Love Loaves")

1 c. honey (sugar for white)

2/3 c. potato flakes (NOT pearls)

2/3 c. instant powdered milk

4 tsp. salt

1 c. oil

2 eggs (3 if making rolls)

4 c. hot tap water

12-14 c. whole wheat flour (bread flour for white)

2 heaping Tbsp. yeast

3/4 c. warm water

(I always half this recipe...it is huge and you really need a Bosch to do a full batch)

Mix yeast and 3/4 c. warm water in separate bowl with a pinch of sugar until double in size, then add to mix. Mix all ingredients together in mixer, starting with 12 cups of flour and adding more flour as needed if sticky. Cover with towel and let rise until double, then separate into loaves on floured counter. Put into greased bread pans. Let rise again until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Spread butter on warm loaves for glossy look, if desired. Makes 8 loaves of bread.

(From the St. David Ward cookbook-this is one of the lightest whole wheat bread recipes that I've found. I haven't tried it with white flour yet.)
