Mix Wet Ingredients: In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the evaporated milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt, and whole wheat flour.
Incorporate Yeast Mixture: Mix in the yeast mixture and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Add Bread Flour: Gradually add the bread flour and process until the dough forms a ball.
Knead Dough: Knead the dough by processing it for an additional 80 seconds in the food processor or knead by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
Divide and Shape: Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half and gently pound out any air bubbles. Form each half into loaves and place them in buttered 9×5 inch bread pans.
Second Rise: Butter the tops of the dough and cover them loosely with plastic wrap. Allow the loaves to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Meanwhile, place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Once the loaves have doubled in size, remove the plastic wrap and bake them in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the tops are dark golden brown.
Finish: While the loaves are still warm, butter the crusts. Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving.
