Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread

The original recipe was from Everyday Cheapskate and called for white flour. I experimented a bit to make it healthier and use whole wheat flour. My kids beg me to make this.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Yields: 2 loaves

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups warm water
• 4  teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1  tablespoon salt
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 5 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1  tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix just until incorporated. I use a Kitchenaid mixer, but it could be done by hand. The dough will be VERY wet and sticky.
2. Let it rise until double in size.
3. Spoon the dough into two well-greased loaf pans. Let rise in the pans until the dough reached the tops of the pan.
4. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Ten minutes before done, brush with melted butter. Cool on wire racks.
