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.

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

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

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.
Let it rise until double in size.
Spoon the dough into two well-greased loaf pans. Let rise in the pans until the dough reached the tops of the pan.
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.
