Wheat Bread

From Betty Crocker's New Picture Cookbook

Instructions paraphrased by myself.

1 1/4 cups warm water (not hot ~ 110 to 115 degrees F)
1 pkg. active dry yeast
2 tablespoons soft shortening (I used melted butter.)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons honey, brown sugar or light molasses (I used molasses.)
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour (I used bread flour.)

Stir together the warm water and yeast in electric mixer bowl and let stand until dissolved. Mix well. Add shortening, salt and molasses and half the flour. Mix well (recipe says 2 minutes at medium speed). Add the rest of the flour and mix until smooth.

Spread into well-buttered bread loaf pan and bake 50-55 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove immediately from pan onto rack to cool. Butter top.
