Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Hops (dried, ground)
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and instant yeast. Stir gently to mix and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, whole wheat flour, ground hops, salt, and chia seeds to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well combined and a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap, and leave it to rise in a warm area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to deflate. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf again with the cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the loaf pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, uncover it and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your heart-healthy hops bread as a delicious addition to breakfast or any meal.
