Ingredients

    2 pkgs. active dry yeast
    1/4 C. warm water
    2 1/2 C. hot water
    1/4 C. honey
    1 Tbsp. salt
    1/4 C. oil
    1 C. wheat germ
    7 C. whole wheat flour

Directions

Soften active dry yeast in 1/4 C. warm water.
Combine hot water, honey, salt, and oil in another bowl. Stir in wheat germ. Add 4 C. whole wheat flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Add softened yeast mixture to dough.
Add remaining flour.
Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and satiny. Shape dough into a ball. Place in lightly greased bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 1/2 hours).
Punch down. Cut into 2 portions (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each).
Shape each into a smooth ball. Shape into loaves. Let rise until double (about 1 hour).
Bake 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees F.

**These can be baked in bread pans for more uniform shape, or on a baking sheet for wider, flatter bread.

Makes 2 loaves, 16 slices each.
