INGREDIENTS

• 5 1/4 to 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 packages fast-rising active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons salad oil

DIRECTIONS

• In large bowl of electric mixer combine 4 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt; stir to blend dry ingredients thoroughly. In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan combine milk, water, honey, and oil; place over medium heat, stirring to blend well, until hot to touch (110° to 115° F).
• Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Mix to blend, then beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Stir in about 3/4 cup of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a board or pastry cloth coated with some of the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny and small bubbles form just under surface (about 10 minutes), adding just enough flour to prevent dough from being sticky.
• Cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a loaf. Place shaped loaves in greased 4 1/2- by 8 1/2-inch loaf pans. Cover lightly with waxed paper or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (40 to 45 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 375° F. Bake until loaves are well browned and sound hollow when tapped (30 to 45 minutes). Remove loaves from pans and let cool on wire racks.
