One Hour Dinner Bread

4 Tbsp yeast
3 cups warm water
1/4 cup honey or molasses
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter (or olive oil)
2 tsp salt
1 cup dry milk powder
8 cups Whole wheat flour

In Bosch dissolve yeast in water with honey. Add eggs, oil, salt milk powder and flour, stirring to moisten.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Knead for 5 minutes, adding additional flour if needed.  (I add flour til the dough cleans the side of the bowl, still somewhat sticky) Divide into 3 loaves.  Place into greased 4*8 pans.  Turn oven to 350 for 1 minute-than turn off.  Let loaves rise in warm oven for 20 minutes.  WITHOUT removing  bread, turn oven back onto 350* and bake for 30 minutes.
