Hearty whole wheat bread (Alison Pantry)

2 TBS saf yeast
½ cup warm water
1 TBS sugar

6 cups hot water
1 cup oil
½ cup molasses
1 cup honey
8 cups wheat flour
mix in mixer until smooth. Add yeast mixture above

Add 4-5 cups white flour
1 ½ cups non fat dry milk
additional cups of wheat flour

mix all together until the dough is just slightly sticky to touch. Not too sticky! Knead in mixer 10 minutes. Place in large bowl; coated with oil. Place in warm area to rise to double. (If my kitchen is slightly cool, I will turn on the dishwasher for 5 minutes, then shut off and add bowl of dough with food film covering it. This adds moisture to your bread and will help it rise quickly).
Remove from large bowl on oiled surface. Cut into 4 equal portions and roll out, forming loaf. Place in oil coated bread pans and let rise until double. Cover with damp, clean cloth or place back in dishwasher covered with food film.
Bake at 350 fro 40-45 minutes. Place on cooling racks and brush butter on top.
