Whole Wheat Bread

This is a recipe I have in memory, but I know I got it somewhere online at some point, so I can't take full credit.
I used to make this with conventional ingredients, but just cleaned up the original to make delicious, healthy bread for my family.  Much tastier and cheaper than store bought!

Whole Wheat Bread

3 cups whole wheat bread flour
2 1/4 tsp of rapid rise yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup very warm water (just warm enough so it's almost uncomfortably warm)
2 TB of honey
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or grapeseed oil

Set your bread machine to just the dough setting.  You can cook in your bread machine, but I prefer to bake in my oven.  The form and outer texture is better.

Put the water, salt, yeast, and honey into the machine.  Let sit for about 5 minutes to let the yeast start to work.
Next add the flour and oil and push start!

An hour and 1/2 later, take the dough out and onto a flour surface.  Stretch out and fit to a normal sized bread loaf pan.  Set in a warm place for about 30 minutes and allow to rise.  Brush top with eggwash and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Take out of pan as soon as it comes out of the oven and let cool on rack.
