• 2 tsps fresh yeast (or 1 tsp active yeast, or 2/3 tsp instant yeast) .
• 3 tbsps honey .
• 1/4 c vegetable shortening, plus .
• 1 c whole wheat flour .
• 1 tbsp salt .
• 1 tsp vegetable shortening (2 oz) .
• Starter .
• 4 3/4 c all-purpose flour (23 oz) .
• Dough .
• 3/4 c warm water (95-105 F) .
• 4 tsps fresh yeast (or 2 tsp active yeast, or 1 1/3 tsp instant yeast) .
• 1 c warm water (95-105 F)

• Step #1 Make the starter.
• Step #2 Combine yeast & water in a medium size mixing bowl.
• Step #3 Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved.
• Step #4 Add flour & stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Step #5 Cover up with a cloth & let this stand for exactly 30 mins.
• Step #6 Make the dough.
• Step #7 Combine water, honey, & yeast in the bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer.
• Step #8 Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved.
• Step #9 Add shortening, flour, salt & the starter.
• Step #10 Mix on lowish speed until the dough is fully developed.
• Step #11 To determine whether it is fully developed, start testing after the dough comes together & leaves the sides of the bowl.
• Step #12 To test, stop the mixer, & take a small piece of dough & stretch it slowly with the thumb & fingers of each hand.
• Step #13 If the dough tears easily, mix it for a few more mins, & test again.
• Step #14 It's fully developed when the dough forms a translucent "window" when stretched.
• Step #15 Divide the dough into 2 pieces.
• Step #16 Roll each into a smooth ball.
• Step #17 Place on a pastry mat or on waxed paper (or in a proofing basket) & cover with a warm, damp cloth.
• Step #18 Let rest at about room temp for 30 mins exactly.
• Step #19 Preheat oven to 400°F now (so it will be thoroughly hot when time to bake).
• Step #20 Form the dough into loaves, place this into loaf pans, if using them.
• Step #21 Cover up with a warm, & let rise for 30 mins at about room temp (or in a slightly warmer spot, damp cloth, like the top of the oven).
• Step #22 Make three 1/2" scores on the top of each loaf with a sharp knife.
• Step #23 Spray with water, or until the crusts are deep golden brown & a thermometer inserted into the center registers 190-200°F If not using loaf pans, & bake for 30-40 mins, you can place the loaf directly on a hot baking stone.
• Step #24 Remove the bread from the oven & remove this from the loaf pans (if using).
• Step #25 Cool 30 mins before slicing.
• Step #26 Store in a paper bag or in a bread box.
• Step #27 You can freeze one baked loaf, allow to thaw for a few hrs, & reheat in the oven.
