"The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water,
is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight..."

Beard on Bread

1/2 cup warm water (between 105 and 115° F. is ideal)
1/2 cup honey
2 packages active dry yeast
3/4 cup chopped scallions, equal parts white and green (about 2 bunches)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk, warmed (between 105 and 115° F.)
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (about 2 bunches)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil, for the bowl and pans
1 egg white, lightly beaten, for a glaze, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
In a large bowl, combine the water and the honey. Add the yeast and stir
until it dissolves. Add the scallions, oil, milk, parsley, salt, dill weed, and whole wheat flour. Stir until the dough is smooth. Add enough of the all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it lightly, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and shape it into 2 loaves. Grease two
9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans with 1 tablespoon of the butter each. Fit the dough into the pans and let it rise, lightly covered, until doubled; this will take
about 1 hour.
Brush the tops of the loaves with a little beaten egg white, if desired. Bake
the loaves for 35 to 40 minutes, until the bread sounds hollow when tapped
on the bottom. Remove the pans to a cooling rack; after 5 minutes turn the loaves out of the pans and let them cool completely.
Makes 2 large loaves.
