Simple Whole Wheat Bread

3 cups warm water

2 packages dry yeast

1/4 cup honey

5 cups bread flour

3 Tbsp applesauce

1 tsp salt

~ 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 Tbsp coconut oil

In a large bowl, mix water, yeast and honey. Add bread flour and stir to bombine. Let rest for 30 minutes or until big and fluffy. Mix in applesauce and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. Knead, adding whole wheat flour, until not really sticky, just pulling away from the bowl.

Place in a greased bowl and turn once to the surface of the dough. Let rise in a warm place until doubled. Punch down and divide into two loaves. Place in greased loaf pans and allow to rise until dough has topped pans by one inch. Bake at 350*F for 25 to thirty minutes. Brush with coconut oil.
