Mix yeast with 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let rest 15-20 minutes. In large bowl, mix water, honey, salt, and oil well. Add yeast mixture, 1 cup white flour, and 2 cups wheat flour. Gradually add 5-7 cups more white flour, mixing well after each addition. Knead, adding wheat flour as necessary. Let rise twice. Form into loaves and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

If you use a bread machine, reset it after the first rising. Adding another rising cycle improves the bread's texture, making it lighter/less dense.

The best thing about this recipe is that it makes several loaves and they freeze very well until you are ready to use them. This is very good, soft yet dense bread!
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add remaining ingredients, beating with electric mixer until stiff. Mix remaining flour with a spoon. Let dough rise until doubled. Punch down. Let rise again. Shape into loaves. Place in greased 5x9 inch pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.

I myself bake even better ultra high bran, inexpensive, delicious and healthy bread in a bread machine using the following easy recipe.
Total - 2000 calories and 80 g bran which is more than 3 times as much as recommended daily amount.
If you want to make it even healthier, finely grind in a coffee mill 3 Tbsp. of flax and use it in place of oil
If you have a small family or not many people in your household eat bread, you can half the recipe but please use the same amount of yeast (1 Tbsp.) in it.
I bake and eat this bread every day and I have eaten it throughout my pregnancy and never experienced any constipation which is so common among pregnant women. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
