- Bring 1/2 c. water to a boil; mix it with the lowfat milk, honey, and salt in a large bowl and let cold to lukewarm. In a separate container, stir the yeast into 1/2 c. hot water and let it stand for 5 min to dissolve. Add in the dissolved yeast and 3 c. of the white flour to the first mix and beat vigorously. Add in the remaining c. of white flour and 1 c. of the whole-wheat flour and mix well. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board; knead for a minute or possibly two, and let rest for 10 min. Using the remaining flour only if the dough is too sticky to handle, resume kneading till smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover, and let rise in a hot place till double in bulk. Punch down and knead in the candied orange peel and the pecans. Shape into 2 loaves; place in greased loaf pans; cover and let rise till almost double in bulk. Preheat oven to 375F. Bake bread for 45 - 55 min. Remove from pans and cold on racks.
