I used 1/2 cup honey, 2 cups water and 6 cups flour (3 cups whole wheat and 3 cups white) and left out the dough enhancer. I made cloverleaf rolls and baked for 15-20 minutes. The bread was awesome - even my husband loved it. I was quite lax on the rise times - it was a busy day. I put everythinginto my kitchenaid, mixed it, then left it to rise in the mixer (covered). I let it rest for 15 minutes, then ran the mixer at speed 2 for 10 minutes. I covered it again and left the house for 3 hours! I came back, ran the mixer for about 15 minutes and let rise again for almost and hour (in the mixer). Finally, I shaped the rolls, let rest for about 30 minutes then baked. The rolls were perfect!

These were ok but I would have preferred less of a whole wheat taste (I did use 1 cup of all-purpose flour but would use more in the future). Also, I found these did not rise very quickly. After 1 hour and a half, it was still not enough.
