Assemble all the ingredients.

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey, stirring to dissolve.

Add 5 cups bread flour and stir to mix.
- 4
Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes, or until it becomes large and bubbly.
- 5
Stir in 3 tablespoons melted butter, the remaining 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Mix in 2 cups whole wheat flour.
- 6
Move the dough to a floured work surface and slowly knead in the remaining 2 cups whole wheat flour.
- 7
Knead until the dough begins to pull away from the work surface, adding more whole wheat flour if needed; it should feel slightly tacky but not overly sticky.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat its surface.
- 9
Cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- 10
Grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans. Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 loaves.
- 11
Set the loaves in the prepared pans and let rise until the dough crowns the pans by one inch, another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- 12
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the risen loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake.

When finished, lightly brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter to keep the crust from hardening.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
