Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
• Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
• Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.

Steps:

• In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add honey, butter, salt, 2 1/2 cups very warm water and 3 cups of the whole wheat flour. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour.
• With spoon, stir in 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups of the all-purpose flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.
• On lightly floured surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup all-purpose flour; continue kneading 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray; place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Generously grease 2 (8x4- or 9x5-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate; divide in half. Shape dough into loaves; place in pans. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dough; bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix 1 3/4 cups of the all-purpose flour, the salt and yeast. Add warm water, 1/4 cup honey and the oil. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in whole wheat flour and cereal. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 10 minutes or until smooth and springy. Spray large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, and turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 1/4 hours or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
• Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Shape into about 9-inch round loaf. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until double.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing. Serve with additional honey.
