Maple Whole Wheat Bread

7 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp salt
2 envelopes quick rise yeast
1/3 cup maple syrup
1-1/2 cups low fat 2% milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Reserve 1 cup flour.  Combine remaining flour, salt and yeast in large mixing bowl.
Heat milk, water, oil and maple syrup until very warm, 120 deg. Stir warm liquid into dry ingredients. Beat in eggs. Mix in enough reserved flour to make soft dough that does not stick to bowl.  Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Cover, let rest for 40 minutes in a warm place. Shape dough into 2 loaves. Place in well greased 9 x 5 loaf pans. Cover, let rise in a warm draft-free place until double in size, about 40-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes or until done. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Serve with maple butter, maple jelly or maple syrup!
