Debbie's Honey Whole Wheat Bread

This recipe took some doing to perfect, but it was well worth the effort. It makes a beautiful loaf with an exceptional texture and a sweet taste. Linda's sister Debbie loves serving this one to company. She says it's too sweet as a sandwich bread, but it is marvelous plain or toasted and buttered.
