Honey Wheat Bread...From Scratch

Every Sunday I make bread.  Usually white.  It seemed today everyone wanted wheat.

My youngest fruit of my loins couldn't wait to help. She LOVES getting her hands in some dough.

I want to direct you to a blog about what I say all the time about making things at home VS buying things premade.....like loaves of bread.
