Honey Wheat Bread

I make some of this about once a week. It's our standard house bread. You can bake it in a 9x5 loaf pan or split it into rolls.

1 1/2 cup hand hot water
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 cups bread flour

Mix all ingredients and let rise for 20 minutes.

Add:

2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups whole wheat flour

Knead on low speed with a dough hook in an electric mixer for 10 minutes. Dough will be slightly sticky. Allow dough to rise until it doubles, about an hour.

Shape dough by making a square while pinching out the bubbles. Then roll the dough tightly and place into a non stick sprayed 9x5 loaf pan with the seam on the bottom.

Allow dough to rise until it reaches the top of the pan, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (About 20 for rolls)

Allow to cool completely before slicing.
