Directions

To soften yeast

• Combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
• Allow the yeast to proof (bubble) for 5 minutes.
• Stir in Sue Bee® honey, oil, salt, mixed sprouts and 4 cup flour; beat well.
• Cover and let this sponge sit 45-60 minutes.
• Stir down and gradually add 3-4 cups flour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
• Place dough into a greased bowl, turn it over and around to coat all of the dough.
• Cover and let rise until doubled; about 60-90 minutes.
• Knead dough down in the bowl, divide and shape into 2-3 oblong loaves; place in well greased loaf pans and cover.
• Let rise 60 minutes or until almost doubled.
• Bake at 375 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove loaves from pans and cool on wire racks.
