Whole Wheat Bread

This is my go-to whole wheat bread recipe. I really like that it makes enough dough for multiple loaves, so I can store the extra and pull it out and let it rise when I want a fresh loaf. It's also good if you need to make multiple loaves all at once.

This isn't for people who don't like some serious, dense whole wheat bread. It's not so heavy as to be inedible, but it ain't Wonderbread, which is in my humble opinion an excellent thing.

Take the time to let it rise twice, as it makes it a lot less dense. It's worth the extra time. The actual amount of time you have to pay attention to the dough is fairly minimal, but plan on the whole process taking somewhere around 4 or 5 hours from start to out of the oven.
