Ingredients

    3c whole wheat flour
    1/3 c honey
    1 TBS salt
    1/4 c shortening
    2 pkg yeast
    2 1/4 c warm water
    4c AP flour
    1 TBS butter (melted)

Stir in 3c AP flour. Turn out dough on lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth (5-10 min), flouring with remaining cup when needed. Place in greased bowl. Turn dough to grease both sides. Cover and let rise in a 200 oven until doubled in size (45 min). Grease 2 loaf pans.

Punch down dough and divide in half. Flatten dough for each loaf into a rectangle with hands or rolling pin. Poll dough tightly starting from narrow end. Place dough seam side down in the pans. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle 1/2 T flax on each. Let rise in 200 oven until doubled (30-35 min). Remove and preheat oven to 375. Bake in 375 oven for 40-45 min or until loaves are golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Remove from pans and cool. Makes 2 loaves.
