Betty Smity Bread

11-14 C. whole wheat flour
4 1/2 c. warm water
4 eggs
3 tsp yeast
3 tsp salt
2/3 c. oil
2/3 c. honey
1 Tb. molasses (optional)
Dissolve yeast into water. In another bowl mix 6 c. flour and all other ingredients. Add yeast mixture and mix. Add remaining flour till bowl cleans sides.
Grease large bowl and place dough in. (Mom uses a plastic garbage sack to raise dough in as her bowl is M.I.A!) Cover bowl with lid or plastic and let raise till doubled. (roughly 1 hr) Punch down and let rise again. (2nd rise is faster so watch closely). Grease counter and dump dough out smooth sides down press out bubbles and cut into 4 parts. Put in greased pan and then into oven to rise again. Put a pan or water at bottom of oven to help it rise. Remove bread and turn oven to 350 once hot place bread in oven (this is called oven spring) bake for 30/35 mins.
