Kid-Friendly Whole Wheat Bread

I actually got this recipe from here. It is my favorite bread recipe and is a hit with everyone. I usually have to make a double or triple batch just to have some for us. One loaf is eaten immediately by the scavengers I call my family :) The other loaf is eaten by the bottomless pit that is, yet again, my family. Ok, I have guilt too. It's just so irresistable! I hope you can try this recipe and find that you love it as much as we do.

1 1/2 C warm water (110 degrees is ideal)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 envelopes yeast
2 C white flour
3 1/2 C whole wheat flour
1/2 C packed brown sugar
2 tsp salt
1/3 C vegetable oil
1/2 C room temperature milk

Mix water, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, and yeast in bowl. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 C white flour and 3 C whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, oil, and milk.
Blend ingredients together. Keep adding flour 1/2 C at a time until dough forms a ball.
Oil bowl, turn dough to coat and cover until doubled. About 1 hour.
Punch down dough on floured surface.
Divide into 2 portions.
Roll each portion our 16x8"
Pinch out all air bubbles and roll into loaves.
Pinch seams together.
Place seam side down in 9x5 loaf pans.
Slit top 3 or 4 times with serrated knife.
Set aside to rise no more than 35 minutes MAX
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bake loaves for 15 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake for another 30 minutes until bread is a deep brown.
Let cool 5 minutes before cutting. I know it's tough, but you'll survive, I promise.
Serve warm with butter.
