Whole Wheat Bread and Honey
This is a 3-loaf or 3 dozen bun recipe
Mix:
3 cup (1.25 L) whole wheat bread flour
2 tablespoons quick-rise yeast
Set aside.
Boil 3 small potatoes to make 1 cup mashed. Save water.
Then mix:
3 cups (750 ml) liquid (potato water and milk or all milk)
Use water the potatoes are cooked in; add enough milk to make 3 cups (750 ml). Heat the milk and water for 1 to 2 minutes in microwave until temperature of 120 to 130 F. (50 to 55 C.) is reached. To this warm liquid, add the following ingredients:
1/2 cup (125 ml) butter, or vegetable shortening
1/3 cup (85 ml) honey
1 cup (250 ml) wheat germ, toasted
2 teaspoons (10 ml) salt.
Stir in whole wheat flour and yeast mixture. Add:

2 more cups whole wheat flour.
Use the dough hook or turn onto a heavily floured surface.
To this slowly add:
4 (1 L) to 5 cups (1.25 Ll) white flour to make a smooth dough.
Knead 8 to 10 minutes longer.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes and grease the 3 loaf pans. Shape the dough into loaves or buns. Cover and place in a warm draft free location for about one hour until double in size. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350º F. (180 C.).
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from pans and cool on racks.
Bag the bread once it is completely cooled.
This bread freezes well for up to two months.

I remember making biscuits and adding baking soda instead of baking powder. The biscuits looked fine but were very salty and bitter.
