Kitchenaid Kneaded Mostly Wheat Bread

Submitted by TJfromFL

"After a Doctor restriction from white bread for awhile, we came up with this alternative This is a 2/3 "white" wheat flour and 1/3 bread flour recipe to make the old Doctor happy. I find this more palatable than any store bought wheat bread I have tried and the texture is great. Honey replaces all sugar, and salt is cut down. Use low fat milk and a healthier oil and this will make old Doc happier. Plus, the Kitchenaid does all the work."
