Makes 2 loaves
Ingredients:
5.5 to 6 cups unsifted white flour
2 cups unsifted whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons salt
2 packages Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast
2 cups milk
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Fleischmann's Margarine Planters Peanut Oil

Directions:
Combine flours. In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2.5 cups flour mixture, sugar, salt, and undissolved Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast.

Combine milk, water, and Fleischmann's Margarine in a saucepan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm (120'F - 130'F). Margarine does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour mixture. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour mixture to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel. Let rest 20 minutes.

Divide dough in half. Roll each half to a 14 x 9-inch rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Brush loaves with Planters Peanut Oil and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.

When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator. Uncover dough carefully. let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Puncture any gas bubbles which many have formed with a greased toothpick or metal skewer.

Bake at 400'F. about 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
