2/3 c Water; lukewarm
4 ts Dry yeast
2 ts Honey
5 c Whole wheat flour
3 tb Molasses
2/3 c Water; lukewarm
1/3 c Wheat germ
1 1/3 c Water; lukewarm
1/2 tb Butter

20 minutes.
Combine molasses with 2/3 cup lukewarm water.
Combine yeast mixture with molasses mixture. Stir this into the warmed
flour, then add the wheat germ and 1-1/2 cups lukewarm water.

the pan well. Turn the dough into the pan. Smooth dough in pan with

of loaf are firm and crusty. Set pan on rack to cool for about 10
minutes, then remove loaf from pan and cool completely on rack before
slicing.
