Dad's Wheat Bread

1 3/4c Water (Warm but not too hot)
3c Whole Flour
1c White flour
2 1/4tsp Rapid Rise Yeast
3tbsp Molasses
1/2tsp Salt

Mix by hand or with a convenient bread maker.

If you don't have rapid rise yeast, put the yeast in warm water (not hot, somewhere around 130 degrees F is good) ten minutes before you start the bread and it will bubble.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Be sure to wait about 20-30 minutes before cutting the bread to avoid it deflating or flattening a bit.

Mom likes hers to be a higher ratio of white flour, and honey instead of Molasses.
