Mrs Captains Molasses Wheat Bread

 

I use my kitchen aid mixer to mix my bread and it does a great job. 

Take 1/2 cup of warm water and stir in the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar , let it sit and foam up about 5-10 minutes.  

In the large mixer bowl stir together the warm milk , molasses, softened butter , brown sugar and salt.

Mix in the yeast mixture then the whole wheat flour.  

Add all purpose flour one cup at a time until it forms together and is no longer sticky. 

Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap , let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 

Punch down and shape into 2 loaves, cover and let rise for an hour.  Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes. Brush top with butter while hot. 

3 packages ( or 6 3/4 tsps ) yeast,
