This is a family favorite. While the family lived in Port Orchard, WA, we made this several times a week.

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
2 cups hot water
1 cube margarine
3 tbsp yeast
2 cups dried milk
2 cups white flour
2 cups wheat flour
1 tsp salt

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
   
2. Mix in a bowl honey, hot water, and margarine. When the water is lukewarm add yeast. Stir once, then wait until yeast bubbles to surface.
   
3. Mix 2-4 cups of flour or until the dough is smooth.
   
4. Knead the dough 20 minutes or until supple.
   
5. Put in a greased loaf pan. Let rise on top of the stove while the oven is heating.
   
6. Bake for 25-35 minutes.
   
7. Remove bread from pan and cool on cloth or rack.
