Soft & Delicious Wheat Bread

2 eggs

1/3 C. potato flakes

4 C. whole wheat flour or you can use all white flour

1 Tbs. salt

Rest of flour

Dissolve yeast if regular or if instant add with the rest of ingredients. Make a sponge with all ingredients down to salt. Use bread mixer or hand held beaters. Let rest about 10 min. 

Add remaining flour as needed to make soft dough. Knead on floured board or with mixer to
