My bread Recipe

This is my bread recipe. I know that some people want my recipe so here it is.

Get a big bowl and put in 1 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Put in 1 3/4 cups of water. Put in a tablespoon of honey or sugar. Put in a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix it up. Then put in 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 3 cups of white flour. I suggest you mix it a little in between the cups of flour. Keep mixing until it forms into a ball but it doesn't have to be perfect. Then take it out and put it on a cutting board and knead it by pushing it down and folding it over. Do this for awhile and check to see if it is done by poking your finger in it and seeing if the hole that your finger makes goes away. If it doesn't go away, keep kneading it some more. If the hole does go away, you are done kneading. Get a big pot. Put a little oil in the pot and spread it around and then roll the bread in it. Leave the bread in the pot with the lid on. The bread will rise. Wait until it is 2 times the size it started and then bake in the oven at 450. Begin checking after 20 minutes. When the crust is light brown, it is finished. THere might be a gooey part in the middle but that is okay 'cause you can put it back in the oven.

If you want your bread salted, add about 2 teaspoons during the mixing process.
