Honey wheat bread

I make all of our breads in our house, and this is the best wheat bread recipe I have found. We all love it! It's not 100% whole wheat so it's not as "healthy" as some others but I think it tastes better!
1/3 cup honey
2 packets (4 1/2 tsp) yeast
3 cups warm water
5 cups bread flour
1 TBS salt
3 TBS melted butter
1/3 cup honey
3-4 cups whole wheat flour
Mix 1/3 cup honey, yeast, and water together. Then mix in bread flour. Let sit and rise until big and bubbly (about 20-30 minutes). Add salt, butter, and 1/3 cup honey, mix until combined. Add in wheat flour a cup at a time, I start kneading after 3 cups and add more as needed to make it not sticky. You want it to just start pulling away from the counter, so still a bit sticky. The less flour you use the lighter and fluffier the bread will be. Spray bowl with non-stick spray and cover. Let rise until double, about and hour. Punch dough down and form in to 3 loaves, place in sprayed loaf pans. Cover and let rise another 40-60 minutes, or until bread is about an inch above the pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Spread tops with butter when they come out to keep them from getting crusty. This bread is so yummy right out of the oven!
