Crusty Honey Whole Wheat Bread - Barbara Seng

1 cup milk                                            
1 cup water
½ cup honey                                        
3 tbsp margarine
3½ cups white flour                            
2½ cups whole wheat flour
2 pkgs active dry yeast                      
1 egg
1 tbsp salt                                                                             

Warm milk, water, honey and margarine in a saucepan to 120º.  Mix 2 cups of white flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour with salt and yeast in a larger mixer bowl.  Add egg and warm milk mixture and beat for 3 minutes.  Gradually add whole wheat flour remaining and enough white flour remaining to make a stiff dough.  Knead until smooth and satiny.  Place in a greased bowl, turn once, and cover to let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.  Shape into 2 loaves and place in greased pans.  Cover and let rise again until doubled in size and 1 ½ hours.  Bake at 375º for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350º until done, about 30-35 minutes.  Remove from pans and butter the tops.
