Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams whole wheat flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 8 grams salt
- 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 300 ml warm water
- 15 grams honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil, warm water, and honey into the well.
Using a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead for approximately 8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any trapped air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the final rising time.
Once the dough has risen, uncover it and place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
