Ingredients

4 c. warm water
2 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. honey
1 Tbsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water; set aside.
Mix together 4 cups warm water, honey, salt and whole wheat flour.
Add melted margarine and mix.
Add dissolved yeast.
Add white flour, 1 cup at a time, until it cannot be stirred anymore.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead in enough flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl; turn once and cover.
Let rise until double.
