Super Easy Whole Wheat and Honey Bread

Going along with my theme of making as much as possible at home. I made two loaves of bread today. I wanted something tasty and healthy. Here it is!

Ingredients:
8 cups of whole wheat flour (or as much is needed to make soft dough)
4 1/2 tsp quick rise yeast
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey

Directions:
In a stand mixer combine 3 1/2 cups of flour with 4 1/2 tsp yeast. In a sauce pan combine milk, water, oil and honey. Heat until warm but do not boil. Add the warm liquid mixture to your flour and yeast combination. Mix well, scraping the sides. Add 1 cup of flour, mix well scraping sides.
For the next 2 1/2 cups mix with your hands. Once well mixed, cover and let rise for 10 minutes. Divide in half. Roll out each portion into about 7 inches X 12 inches. Roll up starting with the smaller side. Place in a greased bread pan with the roll side down. Let rise in a draft free area (an oven is perfect for this just make sure it is NOT on). Let rise until double the size 30-60 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes.
As always, happy eating!
