Mother Lutz's Whole Wheat Bread or Rolls



1 T. yeast, dissolved in 1/4 c. barely warm water
1 1/3 c. lukewarm water
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. sugar or honey
1/4 c. dry milk
1 1/4 tsp. salt
2 T. lemon juice
3 1/2 - 4 cups whole wheat flour

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl starting with the smaller amount of flour and adding more as needed. Knead for 5 minutes by hand or with the kneading attachment of a mixer. Allow to rise in a warm place until double (about one hour). Punch down.
Smooth dough into a loaf, place into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Allow to rise until dough is about 2" above rim of pan (about 45 minutes to an hour). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40 minutes. Turn out loaf and cool. Yum!

Variation: This same recipe can be formed into rolls, risen until double and baked at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
