Nanas Honey Wheat Bread

INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sm. curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup margarine
1 room temp egg set aside for later

HEAT: the first 4 ingredients in a small pan to 120 degrees.Remove to a large bowl.Add the yeast and wisk together thoroughly.

DRY INGREDIENTS: 5 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 pkgs active dry yeast I lke to use "RAPID RISE" yeast

BEAT: with electric mixer 2 cups of all purpose flour,ADD THE EGG NOW and mix thouroughly,ADD the whole wheat flour the salt the sugar.MIX now with a large spoon I like a wooden spoon but use whatever is comfortable for you.ADD the remaining FLOUR to make a soft dough.TURN onto a floured board adding only enough flour to keep from sticking,and "KNEAD" for around 2 min until smooth and elastic.TURN into a well greased large bowl and cover with a towel set to rise in a draft-free area until double in size.


PUNCH the dough down turning on board to divide and shape into 2 loaves placing into well greased loaf pans 9x5 or 8x4 set to rise covered as before until double in size..this should take about 40- 60 minutes. BAKE in a preheated oven for45-60 minutes your bread will be nicely browned on top and sound "hollow" to tapping with fingertip.


IMMEDIATELY remove from pans onto cooling rack or thick towel to cool. You may brush with butter on top as desired!


WAIT IF YOU CAN!!! cutting will be easier if the bread has cooled some. I love this bread toasted with butter and honey. ADD a great cup of TEA and RELAX!!! ENJOY!!!
