Apple Sauce Wheat Bread

1 can evaporated milk
4 eggs
2 T. Salt
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. apple sauce
2 c. hot tap water
2T. yeast dissolved in 1/2 c warm water with 1 T. sugar
4 c. white flour
8 c. whole wheat flour

Combine the first 7 ingredients. Mix well. Add yeast mixture. Add white flour and stir well. Slowly add wheat flour. You may need a little more then 8 cups. Knead till the dough is elastic and smooth. For this to turn our best, knead in a mixer for about 15 min. or by hand for at least 30 min. Let rise for about 1 hour or until double. Form into 5 loaves. Let rise till doubled and bake at 350 for 30-40 min.

Tip: I will let this rise and then punch down and let rise again. That helps any wheat or rye type bread cook up better. You can even do it 3 times if you have the time.
