Whole Wheat Bread for Lammas

2 c warm milk (by warm I mean if you stick your finger in it, it feels just slightly warmer than room temp)
1 c warm water (see above)
2 pkg yeast
1/4 c oil
1/4 c honey
1T brown sugar
tsp salt
3 c whole wheat flour
4-7 c white flour

In a large bowl place water, milk and yeast. Stir to dissolve. Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour, mix well and let sit for 15 minutes. Add the oil, honey, salt, brown sugar and white flour. Add the flour 1 cup at a time until you have a smooth, non sticky, manageable dough. Place in a greased bowl, out of drafts , and let rise till double in bulk. Punch down and form into loaves, wreaths and so forth. Let rise again and bake 350 for 45 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.

Try to avoid the temptation to eat the loaf while it is still very warm - for cutting a slice off of a hot loaf will turn the remainder soggy.
