Yummy Whole Wheat Bread...

My sister Betsy posted the recipe for this yummy whole wheat bread a couple weeks ago, and I finally tried it yesterday. It was really good; probably the best whole wheat bread I've ever made. It was easy too.

I made it in my kitchen aid. On the last step I had to dump it out and knead it by hand because it's such a big batch. It easily made 4 loaves. I don't know what to do with 4 loaves of whole wheat bread. So next time I'll either give some away, or cut the recipe in half. I did try to freeze one loaf of dough, so I'll see how that turns out.

Here it is...
