Whole Wheat Bread

jo honey's Note:

The best, and EASIEST, bread recipe you will EVER find. Whole wheat bread that will melt in your mouth. My husband loves it when he comes home and I have been baking bread. Now if you use white wheat, the bread is "lighter". If you use red, the bread will be "heavier".
