Honey Wheat Bread...

I like making my own bread.  Especially here in Guam.  I don't know if they freeze all the bread for shipping?  But something makes the bread here, that I have tried at least, taste sort of like styrofoam.  B gave me a kitchen aid mixer for Mother's Day last year, and with that, I find making bread quite easy and satisfying.  Here is my fairly healthy honey wheat recipe:

3 T yeast
4 c warm water
3/4 c honey
10 c wheat flour
3 t sea salt
1/2 c flax seed meal
-Mix yeast, water, honey.  Let live.
-Add all flour, mix.
-Add flax and salt.  Mix, then let knead for six minutes.
-Dough will be sticky.  Cover and let rise 15 minutes.  Punch down well, divide into three loaves, put into sprayed pans.  Let rise 30 minutes.
-Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 325 for 30 minutes.  (I put a pan of water in the oven during baking.)
