This is my start into the wide world of bread making (makes 2 loaves):Combine in mixer bowl:

1.  3 cups whole wheat flour
2. 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
3. some salt (little)
4. 2 pkg. dry yeast (or about 2 tablespoons)

Heat in saucepan until warm:

1.  3 cup water or potato water
2. 1/2 cup honey
3. 2 tablespoons oil

Pour warm (not hot) liquid over flour mixture.  Beat with mixer for 3 minutes.  Stir in

1.  1 additional cup of whole wheat flour
2. 4-4.5 cups of white flour

Knead dough 5 minutes using additional white flour if necessary.  Place in greased bowl, turn, let rise until double in bulk.  Punch down.  Divide dough in half and shape into loaves.  Place in greased 9×5″ bread pans.  Cover and let rise 40-45 minutes.  Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes. If using glass pans, some say you should reduce the heat to 350.  Also, some variations in cooking time may be due to elevation.
