Soft Partially Whole-Wheat Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup honey
    2 1/2 cups luke-warm water
    2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
    4 cups unsifted white flour
    3 cups unsifted whole wheat flour (I've used more)
    1/2 cup powdered milk
    8 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1/4 cup salad oil
Preparation
    Dissolve honey in lukewarm water in bowl of stand mixer.
    Then add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
    Next, add remaining ingredients to the yeast mixture, about a cup at a time.
    Using dough hook, knead for 10-15 minutes. (I don't knead for more than 10 minutes.).
    Place in a well greased bowl, turn once to bring greased side up.
    Cover loosely and let rise in warm place, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    Turn out onto lightly floured board and divide in half.
    Shape into loaves or rolls, place in/on pan and let rise about 45 minutes in a warm place.
    Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes.
    After removing from oven, butter the crust to keep it soft.
    Makes 2 loaves or about 3 dozen rolls.
