In a bowl, add in your warm water, dry yeast and sugar. Stir well. Let it sit for a few minutes or until there is a foam on top. This foam lets us know our yeast is activated and ready to go! If you don’t have a foam, start this process over. DO NOT PROCEED until you have a foamy liquid. Your water needs to be a touch warmer than what you would put in a baby bottle.
Stir in your honey, melted salted butter and salt. Mix well.
Add in 6 cups of bread flour and mix until incorporated.
Add in the cup of whole wheat flour. Mix well until everything is incorporated. Now check the dough. If it is still pretty sticky, add in another 1/4 cup of flour. You want to keep adding flour until the dough doesn’t stick to your finger when you poke it.
If you’re using a mixer, use the dough hook and mix for 2-3 minutes. If you’re kneading by hand, knead for 2-3 minutes.
Place a clean dish towel over the dough in a bowl. Set it aside and let it double in size (usually 30-45 minutes).
Dump the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 3 parts. Form it into loaves and place then into greased bread pans.
Cover again with a towel and let them rise once more. They should almost double in size (around an hour).
Bake the bread in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
