A fun day with Grant and Hunter

Jennifer and Tyler went to the theater today so Em and I took the boys on an outing to Jungle Jim's. We had fun and they had fun. To top it off, the kid's meal toys at Burger King were Ironman figures. What could be better?

Honey Wheat Bread

I don't know who originally shared this recipe with Veronica but I thank you and her for sharing it with me. It is the best wheat bread recipe that I have ever come across.
Honey Wheat Bread

3 cups warm water (110 F)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T active dry yeast
Combine honey, brown sugar, and warm water in a large glass or plastic bowl. Add yeast and let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy
Add
4 cups whole wheat flour
Stir until no dry clumps remain. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes (20-30 is best) or until bubbly.
Add
2 tsp salt
2 T vital wheat gluten
2 T dough enhancer
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups flour (use either whole wheat flour, white flour, or any mixture of both).
Use Auto Knead function on mixer and knead until smooth (about 8 min). Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down and form into 3-4 loaves. Let rise again until doubled.
Bake at 350 F about 30 minutes.
