Mom's bread

5 1/2 cups hot water (as hot as it comes out of the tap)
2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
put that in the hot water along with about six cups of flour (Whole wheat)
before you mix that up, on one mound put two tablespoons of yeast
and those are heaping
and two tablespoons of salt, and you don't want to mix the two together. different mounds, because salt stops the yeast form working
honey helps

then you can beat those up (if you don't have a bread mixer, beat them with a mix master)
mix 'em right up
usually bread is kneaded for ten minutes, and the longer you beat it the less you have to knead it.
I usually do about five minutes kneading/mixing each.
after you mix it you add about 6 cups of flour
and if you don't have  a bread machine to do the kneading, put it in a plastic bag

make them into loaves
they raise for about an hour (longer if the house is cooler)
that depends on the temperature
cover them with a dish towel

350 degrees, about 30 minutes for a regular sized loaf, and down from there (about five minutes per size)
when they come out, wrap them in the dish cloths and it'll soften up the tops

grease the tops with butter/oil to have a soft top, but mom hasn't done that for a long time.

a couple of hours to make a batch of bread (but she has the mixer, and no kids)
