Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Whole wheat flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 milliliters Milk (low-fat or plant-based)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together warm water, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, olive oil, and milk to the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
