2 packs of yeast (dry)
3 c of water (lukewarm)
1 tsp of honey
1/4 c of molasses
1/3 c of oil
2 c of germ (wheat)
1 Tbsp of salt

Add 3.5 cups of flour (wheat) then add 3 additional cups, mixing thoroughly. Place dough on a board then with the flour available, knead it (12 minutes) ’til springy and smooth. Place dough on greased bowl gently turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, while covered with towel, until double in size, approximately 1.5 hours.

Beat down then let dough rest (20 minutes) then knead for another five minutes. Slice dough in half and put in 2 greased bread pans. As an option, brush top surface with mixture of egg (beaten) and water, then sprinkle sesame seeds then let the bread rise for an hour.

Bake bread into preheated oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) or ’til bread is done. Take out from bread pans and put on a rack so that it will be cooled. Slice thinly and serve with slice of butter on top.
