Makes 4 loaves

2 tbsp. yeast
5 cups warm water
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1/3 cup potato flakes
6 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. salt
4 to 5 cups unbleached flour

Dissolve yeast as package suggests. Mix all ingredients together except unbleached flour. Use bread mixer or hand-held electric beaters to bring the dough to a sponge-like consistency. Let rest about 10 minutes. Add remaining flour gradually as needed to make a soft dough. Knead on floured board; cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size. Punch down; shape into four loaves; place in greased bread pans. Cover and let rise again until double in size.

Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes. For a soft crust, put hot bread on a towel to cool.
