This is originally an episcopalean communion bread recipee. However it makes a fantastic hearty honey-wheat bread. You'll notice that the recipee calls for making a cross on the dough.

JANET WARD'S COMMUNION BREAD RECIPE

7/8 cup of lukewarm water
1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup oil
2 cups whole wheat "pastry & bread" flour (regular whole wheat flour works great too--actually better)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast (1 1/2 tsp)

Measure the water into a mixing bowl and add the yeast, stirring until dissolved; then stir in the honey, oil and salt.

Add the flouur adn with the hands mit it in completely. If the flour does not completely dampen, ad a tabelspoon or more of water.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead thourgouhly for 5 minutes. THIS KNEADING IS IMPORTANT. Replace the dough in the bown, cover with a damp cloth or towl and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in bulk (1 - 1 1/2 hrs--less time if you use rapid rise yeast). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board again and knead for 2-3 minutes. Divide the dough into three loaves (divide in two for a larger loaf--easier to feed a larger family. Do not try to cook it as one loaf). Press crossed lines on each loaf with a knife, not cutting through, so that the baked laves may be easily divided in quarters. Place the laves on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fareinheit for 15 to 20 minutes, if you cook in three loaves. If you cook in two loaves or make multiple batches, cook until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool the loaves. These store well in the fridge so you can make them on the weekend when you have more time and enjoy em throughout the week.
