Description
A soft and hearty whole wheat bread that’s delicious and packed with nutrition, perfect for sandwiches or toasting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Punch the risen dough down, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
